You might remember a few months ago, Linus Akesson released a C64 demo called "Nine" that featured a magician character that summoned nine on-screen sprites from his hat (the C64 only supports 8 sprites per scanline in hardware).

Today the demo groups Fairlight and Genesis Project released their own sprite-heavy demo, The Hat:

Apart from the sprite shenanigans, there's some really fluid and expressive text-mode PETSCII animations near the beginning. I was very impressed.
