Music video

The "Magic" music video is set at a pool party and features Ocasek walking on top of the surface of the swimming pool as various party guests gather to marvel at him. Towards the end of the video, some of the guests attempt to reach Ocasek by stepping onto the pool's surface, but only end up plunging into the water while Ocasek remains standing (and dry).
