The undisputed true origins of the term âhat trickâ comes from the wildly popular sport, cricket. Interestingly, the use of the term is different than in other sports in that it is awarded for defensive play, rather than offensive.
As above, from the Cyril M. Kornbluth 1951 Marching Morons short story that won SF Hall of Fame repute. Robocop (2014) can now be bought for a dollar. It was also used by the game show host in the 1990 NES game Smash TV. I had totally forgotten about robocop and thought this game was the origin of the phrase.
