Britney Spears might need a magician to stop the torrent of subpoenas in her child custody battle.

On Saturday morning, as cable TV magician Criss Angel was finishing a sleepover at Spears' Beverly Hills mansion, Kevin Federline's attorney served the fourth subpoena in a week to the pop star's intimates when papers were served to a staff member of the Promises Treatment Center in Malibu, where Spears participated in a 28-day substance abuse program earlier this year.

Federline attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan confirms to Usmagazine.com: "An executive administrator from Promises rehab facility was served with a subpoena today."

The unidentified Promises employee joins former Spears assistant Shannon Funk, bodyguard Daimon Shippen and friend Alli Sims as recipients of subpoenas in Federline's effort to unearth evidence proving he should be granted primary custody of their two children. An L.A. family court judge is scheduled to consider evidence discovered from the subpoenaed subjects in mid-September.

Kaplan explained the subpoenas to Us, saying, "Kevin is pursuing relevant information from all relevant sources...There is a significant strategy in place that Kevin is going to pursue whatever he needs to do to protect his kids."

Meanwhile, Federline already appears to be celebrating his legal gamesmanship. He partied into the early hours of Saturday morning at Las Vegas nightclub Tao with a group of friends. “He was slugging down Patron, Jagermeister and Grey Goose right from the bottle, gulping it down as if it were water,” according to an onlooker. “It seemed like he just wanted to get wasted.”
