Magic Tricks

Magic Tricks is a single by American-British rock band The Infection, it is one of the band's hit singles, and was released on the same day the band released Self-Titled. This is the only song recorded with Patrick Star on the album. He also appears in the video, that was shot nearly five months before the commercial release.
==Music video==
The video starts with a close-up on SpongeBob's guitar as he plays the first few chords of the song. After the song speeds up, Patrick is shown playing the drums in his usual, happy demeanor.
The video cuts to a "broadway" performance of the song, which eventually ends in SpongeBob falling off of the stage.
The video then cuts back to the band performing and then cuts AGAIN to a black and white shot of a museum where the brain of a primitive human is being observed. The brain comes alive in a stupid fashion, quite similar to that of a 1930's horror movie and starts crawling across the floor. It latches on to one of the observer's legs and begins to fade into the observer. Instead of screaming, the observer notices that he has a brain-like tattoo on his leg and walks off, occasionally his expression completely changes for a split second. The brain takes control of the observer. A spoof of invasion of the body-snatchers follows in the short film version.

==Reception==
The video was met with positive to mixed reception. Consquence of Sound had this to say about it: "The song is great but the video doesn't decide what it wants to be. From a regular performance video, to a b-movie spoof. It's odd but doesn't deliver.
== Magic Tricks '07 ==
Due to the mixed reception from music critics, The band re-released Magic Tricks under the name "Magic Tricks '07" on June 3rd, 2007. The song retained its original arrangement.
