Hold the hat by the brim with your left hand so that the crown of the hat is facing away from you. Take the stick in your right hand.
With a flick of your wrist, throw the hat up slightly so that it starts spinning anti-clockwise. As the hat descends, hit the brim with the stick slightly to the right of center, such that the stick curves slightly upwards and outwards. This will cause the hat to spin as it rises into the air. As it descends again, repeat the hitting action.
The idea of the basic spin is to keep the hat in the air by hitting it repeatedly with the stick in this manner. I find it helps if you look at the top portion of the inside of the hat.
Adjusting the spin rate and direction:
Hitting the hat nearer the center will give you a slower spin and more height, nearer the edge will give you a faster spin but less height. Obviously striking the left side of the brim will reverse the spin and cause the hat to go clockwise.

The hatstand made its debut at chocfest 7, where I was compering. After a period of prototyping and refining, I built the version that worked. I demoed this a couple of times then it broke. I replaced the elastic and set it up for the big day, used it on stage and it worked, then broke next time I used it.
Be prepared to spend significant tinkering time in between uses, and for frequent breakdowns. That said, it's never let me down when I've needed it.
All in all I've found it a great way to get chicks[1], if you don't count the long evenings spent honing the design and strewing the house with geeky construction equipment, and the fact you'll be laughed out of most nightclubs if you go in wearing a topper. But on stage it works, and it has drawn admiring glances from fellow jugglers and even won us a bag full of croissants on one occasion.

I'll film another time soon if this is feeling good enough that I'm sure I can do considerably better.

"Équilibre" (which means balance in french) is a juggling experience directed and performed by Nico Pires, filmed in motion by Franck Remy (www.rollercam.fr).
The original song "Équilibre" is performed by Hocus Pocus featuring Oxmo Puccino. Here is the official music clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE8nT8-
The lyrics are talking about the struggle to find balance in life, using many metaphors through juggling, acrobatics and circus.
Copyrights of the song are owned by On and On Records and Universal Music France. Buy the song here: https://itunes.apple.com/fr/album/equilibre/id361784864?i=361784875
Nico is a self taught artist specialized in diabolo, contact juggling and influenced by a diversity of movements (hip hop and contemporary dancing, capoeira).
Recorded in Châteauroux's National Stage Equinoxe, "Équilibre" is an invitation into Nico's quest of balance through the juggling and body expression.

Alex and I do a sequence where the 3 green clubs are isolated in 4 different patterns.
Start off with 7-club 3-count with the passes green.
Then do 8677867 with the passes as green.
Then 978 versus 972 with double passes as green.
Then 551 popcorn (a2a67) versus 5 count popcorn with trelfs as green.
Then back to 7 club 3-count.
As they are all ground state, the first 2 switches just work, and doing:
966|7867867 for the first
7867867|978972 for the second
preserves the colours.
For the third, to keep the colours we did three transition throws:
978972|867|a66a7a6267
For the fourth transition, to keep the colours we did:
a66a7a6267a66a7|b6266|966
I'd love to see similar ideas!
