Sparks' 1984 album on Atlantic shares its name with "Pulling Rabbits Out of a Hat", a song Ron Mael and Russell Mael wrote and Ian Little produced, with Steve Bates engineering. The record came out that June as the duo's 13th studio album.
It kept the light synth-pop gloss of In Outer Space from the year before but let a darker tint into the words, with Ron circling his favorite subject once more: relationships. This time the trick in the title didn't come off. The album missed the Billboard 200 and stalled on the Bubbling Under list, went nowhere in Britain, and couldn't cash in on the momentum In Outer Space had built. It yielded three singles, starting with "With All My Might".
