The price is good. The hat is well made out of nice strong velvet, with 1 exception: the silk hatband is only tacked down in a few spots and starts to 'float' up the hat. I had to sew it into place, (thus 4 stars instead of 5). The 'magic' part of the hat is well hidden but only took my 10 year old a few minutes to get competent. He even uses it (for very short periods of time) to pull one of our live chinchilla's out.

I like that it stands up nicely and doesn't crumple down into a flat hat. Great for your budding magician. Or your child who is into dressing well - or just likes hats. This is a wise choice for your $$.
