This item is made in India and is of average quality. The black color of the inside bottom of the
top hat rubs away easily, showing white streaks. This is a problem when displaying an empty hat to
the audience especially in a close up situation. I wish I knew the origin of the product before I
purchased this. I've had bad luck with Indian and Chinese items in the past.

My son was excited to get this magic hat. When it arrived it smelled like it had been stored in a
damp basement and still has an odor. We expected it would have a compartment in it for magic
tricks, we had another had with a secret compartment. It's just a musty smelling, collapsible top
hat. I went back and ordered the one we had previously again. Sorry for the bad review, that's how
it was for us.
