Music video
The music video for the song shows many different personas of people at a party as Ocasek walks on the pool water singing the song.

The Cars filmed "Magic" at the Hilton family house in Beverly Hills. Kathy Hilton rented the house for her band. A Plexiglass platform was located below the surface of the water. In the first take, the platform collapsed. The platform had to be adjusted for Ric's weight. The house is also the setting for the movie Blind Date starring Bruce Willis and Kim Basinger.
