It didn’t take long for Criss Angel to cast his spell on Britney Spears.

After the illusionist introduced himself to the pop star at the L.A. eatery Cravings on August 15, their brief meeting was all it took for Angel to mesmerize Spears.

Later that night, the duo arrived at The Tower Beverly Hills holding hands and were seen leaving the same room the next morning.

Though the pair are reportedly collaborating on her performance at the MTV Video Music Awards in September, they appear to be engaging in business and pleasure.

Spears, 25, and Angel, 39, were seen the next night entering the W Los Angeles-Westwood hotel at 3 a.m. and didn’t leave till later that morning.

Meanwhile, on August 17, the new couple hit the trendy Tropicana Bar at the Roosevelt Hotel at 1 a.m. for a half hour before heading back to her Beverly Hills mansion for yet another sleepover.

“He’s got a different chick in his bed every night, but he knows the power of hooking up with famous, beautiful girls like Cameron and Britney,” says an Angel pal.

Is it magic? Possibly. “Criss is a magician – he knows how to do low-level hypnotism. If he ran into Britney Spears, I’m sure it was like shooting fish in a barrel," says the friend, who doubts that the magician is in it for the long haul. “He’ll charm her for a couple weeks, get bored and drop her, probably after the VMAs."
