Brian's bizarre magic show was such a hit last year that we're bringing it back for more!  Nail in the eye?  Pfft...  Wait until you see what else he's got!

For 10 years, Brian Brushwood has toured colleges nationwide, performing his award-winning bizarre magic show and skeptical lectures at over 1000 schools. Teller (of Penn and Teller) says "Brian Brushwood just kills me. He's funny, dangerous, and brilliantly original. He's going to be really famous, very soon."

Brian has appeared on over two dozen national TV shows (including 2 appearances on "The Tonight Show"), and recently started hosting the break-out series "Scam School," named by iTunes as a Top Video Podcast of 2008 and 2009. Each episode of the show "dedicated to social engineering at the bar and on the street" teaches a usable street con, scam, or magic trick to score free drinks at the bar. New episodes are available every Thursday at ScamSchool.tv

In late 2009, Brian joined Leo Laporte's TWiT network, co-hosting the new show "NSFW" along with Justin Robert Young. Each episode of NSFW focuses on late-night internet culture, bizarre games, and interviews with A-list internet celebrities at NSFWshow.com.

ALWAYS an amazing show. I've seen him at a few different venues now and he always runs a super tight, fantastically fun event.

And if there's an "after party"?  Trust me. 

GO.

Good. I missed the aftershow because it swapped panel rooms at the last second.
