To pull something out of the hat 突施妙計 2016-10-04

Hello and welcome to The English We Speak. 
I'm Feifei and I'm waiting for Rob. I have some good news for him.
Oh hi Feifei. You're looking very pleased with yourself.
Yes, I am. You know that new singer we really really like and wanted to go and see?
You mean Justin Timberriver? Yes him. And you know that his would tour is a sell-out - there are no tickets left?
Well, look at these!
Wow! Two tickets to see Justin Timberriver in London tomorrow!
That's amazing. How did you manage to pull those out of the hat?
Err Rob - I didn't pull them out of anyone's hat. I used my own money to buy them from a friend.
No Feifei - if you 'pull something out of a hat' it means you produce something unexpectedly - by surprise - and it solves a problem.
OK, I see. So these tickets are unexpected surprise? Yes - I thought we would never get any.
Let's hear some more examples while I calm down. 
We thought we would never complete the project on time. But somehow Javeed managed to pull it out of the hat.
Our team has had a bad season. But they still managed to pull a cup victory out of the hat by the end of it.
So if you pull something out of a hat, you do something that's not expected and makes a bad situation better.
You can also say to 'pull something out of thin air'. So it's like magic.
Yes. It's just like how a magician pulls a rabbit out of a hat - I don't suppose you could do that, could you?
No Rob. But maybe you could pull something out of the hat for me?
Oh yeah, what's that?
The tickets cost a hundred pounds each. Could I have the money now, please?
A hundred pounds? Where am I going to find that?
Look inside that silly hat you're wearing. It's not silly.
Bye! Bye!
