“Who would name something that?”

“I can use the hat like a cauldron!”

“Hat not just for head.”

“This is but a step from madness.”

“WITH THIS EXTRA POWER I HAVE... MORE POWER!”

“I think the hat collects energy from the air.”

“I like to call it the "Hat Machine"!”

“Quite a dapper machine.”

“It is an absurd machine that makes meat.”

“Did I just hear a squeak?”

“That lever's calling to me.”

“I won't even try to pronounce it...”

“Me ain't had enuff learnin' ta say a word like thet.”
The Prestihatitator is the tier 1 Magic station used to prototype basic Magic and Refine recipes. The Prestihatitator requires a Science Machine to prototype, and costs 4 Rabbits, 4 Boards, and 1 Top Hat to craft. Prototyping an item using the Prestihatitator will increase Sanity by 15.

In Shipwrecked DLC, Prestihatitator is replaced with Piratihatitator, which is crafted with a Parrot as the live animal ingredient instead of Rabbits, which are not found in Shipwrecked worlds.
Tips
- As with any other recipe that requires limited use items, any durability Top Hat can be used when crafting a Prestihatitator. And when it is hammered, a full durability Top hat will be returned.
- Beardlings can be used instead of Rabbits to craft a Prestihatitator.
- Rabbits produced from this machine are homeless and sleep outside at night, making them easy food.
Trivia
- The name "Prestihatitator" is a portmanteau of "prestidigitator" and "hat".
- The Prestihatitator spawning Rabbits is a reference to the magic trick of pulling a rabbit from a hat.
- The Prestihatitator used to have a more costly recipe: 1 Living Log, 4 Gold Nuggets and a Top Hat.
Bugs
- There is a bug in which even if the player has the required crafting materials, the Prestihatitator will remain uncraftable.[Verification Needed]
