But how did they do the handstand somersault without anyone losing a hat?

I wondered about that myself. Had velcro even been invented back then?

Good question! According to the Great Google Oracle, quoting from Wikipedia’s “Velcro” page:
“The original patented hook and loop fastener was invented in 1948 by de Mestral, who patented it in 1955 and subsequently refined and developed its practical manufacture until its commercial introduction in the late 1950s”.
I believe this video is from the early 1930s? If so, then velcro isn’t what they used. Hmm, I wonder when super glue was invented…

I don’t know, but there’s some kind of hocus-pocus going on there.

Thanks for the memory. I remember seeing them on TV in the 1950s. Great act.
