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