So simple, so magical and so much fun. This rabbit in a hat is a trick you can do in illustrator with these simple steps.
Picture

Picture
Start the hat with an oval. 
Picture
Duplicate the oval and make it smaller and a darker fill. 
Picture
Duplicate the inside oval and make it the same color as the outer part of the hat.

Picture
Duplicate the oval so there are two. 
Picture
Draw a rectangle between the two ovals, making sure the corners of the rectangle touch the ends of the ovals.
Picture
Use the Shape Builder Tool to add the the bottom oval and the rectangle together. Use the OPTION key with the Shape Builder Tool to delete the top half of the oval. Copy the final shape and create 2 copies. One for the next step, one for later. 

Picture
Select the shape and click the Draw Inside Mode at the bottom of the Tool Bar. Paste the shape inside and fill it with a different color. Move the shape up towards the top of the shape. Click on the Draw Normal Mode. 
Picture
Place the shape under the hat rim. 
Picture
To create the rabbit, draw a circle. 

Picture
Draw a line with rounded (hot dogged) ends. 
Picture
Use the Width Shape Tool to widen the top of the line for the ear. 
Picture
Choose Object>Expand Appearance to convert the stroke to a shape. 

Picture
Use the Offset Path to create a smaller shape inside the ear, fill it with pink. 
Picture
Duplicate the ears and place them on the head. 
Picture
Use circles for eyes and draw a triangle and use the Corner Widget to rounded corners of the nose. Group all the shapes together. 

Picture
Select the shape you created 2 copies of, no fill, no stroke. 
Picture
Place the shape at the top of the hat, then click the Draw Inside. CUT the rabbit head and paste it inside the shape. Click on the Draw Normal mode. 
Picture
Now the rabbit is peeking out of the hat. 

Picture
Add a few circles to create magic above the rabbit. 
Picture
Create a spiral and add a stroke the same color as the inner ears. 
Picture
Create a dotted line along the spiral by clicking on the Stroke Panel, click on the Dashed Line, set the Cap end to rounded (or you won't get dots) the set the dash length to ZERO and the gap to 12. 

Place the spiral under the hat and scale it to fit. The magic is done.
