Hans Klok bills himself as "The World's Fastest Magician" and no one who's seen him perform would waste a lot of time arguing that one. Nor will you if you watch this video of his recent Vegas engagement. I never got to see it live but a magician friend who did said it was like a "greatest hits" cavalcade, blasting through every state-of-the-art trick around, save for those clearly owned by others. My friend was stunned at the sheer budget, watching Klok roll out one expensive trick after another, allotting sixty seconds for a feat that another magician might have milked for ten minutes. (Klok is currently touring Europe. Assuming he's doing much the same show, his greatest feat is probably just getting all his props from town to town.)
