In the first two videos, (at least I think) he's keeping his thumb hidden, and in all three he's being extra careful with his magic hand, keeping it level or something weird. Humming might be covering up a noise?
Hope it's real, because if so that's pretty sweet.

I agree with Teradonus. Something does seem to be weird with that guys majic hand. Although it would be pretty awesome if it were true ^_^

in the second it could be someone holding a magnifying glass and burning it with light

Could a magnifying glass really burn something that quickly?

yes if its light enough and if the magnifying glass is positioned correctly

His mustache is holding the magnifying glass.
Case closed. His mustache is magical.

If the stache is holding the magnifying glass that wouldn't make it magical just freakishly strong. If we're going with the magnifying glass theory then maybe he put some kind of accelerant on the paper.

Maybe his mustache IS a magnifying glass. But if that where the case it would mean that his mustache is made from some super nano-material that perhaps is... not of this world?! Orr..... He is a robot! That must explain things. Maybe an alien robot.

a magic alien robot! of course.. that explains that weird language he's speaking o _ o

O.O....now we're just getting too far fetched, but I'll throw in my theory of him being a distant cousin to the evil teletubbies found only one the Simpsons ^_^

I KNOW!
He must be some type of new breed of super-human space-alien... robotic... evil...
..Uhm..
....UHHH...

SHOVEL!

mhhhh. perhaps he is an illusion, the video is an illusion, youtube is an illusion, you are an illusion, this website is an illusion, the internet is an illusion, the computer is an illusion, my life is an illusion.
That explains it all!!!

Okay, as all videos should be, this needs to be taken lightly.
When I was younger I built a device called a Maser. It's basically a "microwave-laser" It generates coherent electromagnetic radiation in a concentrated beam. I built mine out of an old microwave oven. I was able to create the very same effects shown here. Melting plastic, burning wood and paper occurred with the trademark small concentric burning circle.
Now I mention that only as it stands out as a suspicious detail where not once did he burn without humming a very even tone that could easily mask the hum of the high voltage unit in a maser.
That being said, there are some difficulties to this. If the heating occurred from the side opposite of his hand (where a maser would be most easily placed) The hole would first form on that side before exposing the opposite side. In the video the side facing his hand melts first followed by the opposite side. Also once the hole is made his hand will be exposed to harmful radiation. But he could still have a high tolerance for flesh-burning pain... ^__^
In the second video where he burns a small hole through paper followed by a larger burning spot, the rapid alteration of diameter would be very difficult to do without either multiple devices or quickly interchangeable columnators for the Maser's aperture.
In some shots, his grasping hand is in the direct path of the "heating beam" (as are his snazzy sun & moon bed-sheet draperies) seemingly to no ill effect.
If you grab still frames from the video an trace the beam lines based on the axis of burn on the cup, you see an emission pattern that leaves little to the imagination with regards to "where a device would be put" to cause the kind of burning we see here.
Of course a clever illusionist and a willing party to the ruse could set up the conditions that would make this illusion work, but even still, this is a tricky one. The axis of the first image shows the "energy" coming almost straight out of his forearm. The closes cup surface melts then the next one melts at an angle perpendicular to his hand AND the original hole. This admits to a direct line of sight from his hand straight through the first hole and out the other. It would be very difficult to simulate this effect at the same pitch as well as having the first hole to form be the one closest to the hand.
The toss-out for this is the possibility of a hidden heat generating device hidden up his sleeve to shoot down the length of his arm. Though such equipment is very large and power hunger, if say we have miniaturized the technology adequately, it's possible, but not without a bit of risk to their self however.
The paper burning one is difficult because without at least two holes, we can't measure the angle of the "beam." Still, looking at the small and large burn, the circles are still fairly round. If a circular aperture maser were to be shooting these holes off axis of his hand, the burn marks would become more oblong based on the degree of pitch. Both look pretty round and the large burn has an interesting "ghosting" pattern that looks like the mirror of his palm with small ridges for his thumb and forefingers.
Anyhoo, we can speculate how he does it 'till the cows come home; what the significance (if any) the humming has and if this "magic" has any resemblance to psionics. But in the end, it's still a youtube video.
I gave a bit of investigative input using no paranormal observations. Only what you see and can infer from that. With my own arbitrary scale of video quality, zero being blatantly fake and ten being shockingly convincing, this gets a solid eight. It is a matter of impression and my impression is that, based on my experiences and what I know, this video seems to be more genuine than fake. Of course I could be wrong, but as internet videos go, these ones are pretty darn good.
Getting past that, I have a few theories as to how this is possible using energy manipulation, but I won't get into that today. ^__^
