Wizard Obama Gazes Into Crystal Ball, Conjures Meme (PHOTO)

YER A WIZARD, BARRY

President Barack Obama showed off his wizardry skills at a campaign stop in Iowa this week, whipping out a crystal ball to cast spells and tell fortunes for his spellbound audience. At least that's what the Internet is telling us after harnessing the energy of a fateful photograph of Obama and summoning a meme that has so far managed to include hilarious references to Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Jay-Z lyrics.

The image was first first spotted by Dan Amira of New York Magazine.

Here's the original image, taken by Associated Press photographer Carolyn Kaster. For some of the best Wizard Obama creations from contributors at Meme Generator, scroll through the slideshow below it, or just cruise on over there yourself and see if you can do better.
