Hat Trick

The term probably originates from bridge, the card game. During game play, four cards are compared and the highest card wins the comparison. In the jargon of the game, each round of comparison is called a "trick". A hat trick involves winning three tricks, generally in a row, which pratically assures winning the current round of play.
