The act originated in 1618 with\u00a0Parisian street performer Tabarin, the most famous of the\u00a0charlatans who combined a French version of\u00a0commedia dell&#8217;arte with a quack\u00a0medicine show. Monsieur Fusier, revived the act and managed 15 hat-twisting styles in his act. Although rarely seen today, it was featured in an episode of\u00a0Saturday Night Live in 1985, as performed by magician\u00a0Harry Anderson.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Types of hat that can be created:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>baseball cap<\/li>\n<li>American and British army hats from the Revolutionary War<\/li>\n<li>pirate&#8217;s hat<\/li>\n<li>naval captain&#8217;s hat<\/li>\n<li>Mickey Mouse ears<\/li>\n<li>Ushanka (a Russian fur hat)<\/li>\n<li>mortarboard (a graduation cap)<\/li>\n<li>Catholic nun&#8217;s headgear<\/li>\n<li>derby hat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">and several inventive others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Some know chapeaugraphers are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tabarin, a French comdian<\/li>\n<li>Monsieur Fusier, another French comedian who revived the act,<\/li>\n<li>Paul Wildbaum, a Canadian (?)
