Hotter than Potter!

That's how short, suited, 20-something magician Keith Brown billshimself. He even hawks buttons with that overconfident slogan. Itdefinitely becomes him, though this guy performs like a motivationalspeaker on Red Bull.

If you're into straight-up, fast-paced, family-friendly card trickswith tons of fun audience participation, you're sure to fall underBrown's spell. By the end of his hour-long show he literally had crowdmembers shouting "Yeah!" and "This is fantastic!"

Those cries were probably at least partly due to the free beer hehanded out (I'm not joking) but still, Brown earned every "ooh" and"aah."
