"Hokus Pokus" was released in 1997 as the second single from Insane Clown Posse's studio album The Great Milenko.[1] The release was exclusive to Europe as a part of Island Records' attempt to promote the group internationally.[1] The single was released in three different versions, with each featuring a remix of the song by Jason Nevins[2][3] entitled "Hokus Pokus (Headhunta'z Remix)".[1] The single peaked at number 54 on the UK Singles Chart that year.[4] A vinyl version of the single was also released in Europe later that year.[1]
A music video for "Hokus Pokus (Nevins Headhunta'z Mix)" was produced in 1997 after the release of The Great Milenko.[1] The entire video was filmed during the day, as to avoid overtime costs.[1] It features a comical portrayal of Insane Clown Posse destroying a shoe store before being pursued by security guards.[1] The video also included appearances by hip hop artists Twiztid and Myzery.[1]
