    I think the first person who took three consecutive wickets was rewarded with a hat and hence it came to be known as a 'hat trick'

    Here are four definitions:

    1. Cricket. the knocking off by one bowler of three wickets with three successive pitches: so called because formerly such a bowler was rewarded with a hat.

    2. Ice Hockey, Soccer. three goals or points scored by one player in one game.

    3. Baseball. a series of a base hit, a two-base hit, a three-base hit, and a home run achieved in any order by one player in one game.

    4. a clever or adroitly deceptive maneuver.

    Because when a hockey player gets three goals, people throw their hats onto the ice.

    From stage magic shows.
    The act of pulling out a rabbit from a hat without fail.
    Ever seen or heard of a magician failing in this act?
