Revolverwin Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I like the "vintage theater" vibes of the video as well as the funny levitation bits in the end :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinest Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I enjoyed it! The first thing I noticed was how young Chris looked! Call it Magic.... ....I mean makeup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueberry426 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I like the video. It's much better than I expected. I was quite surprised to see ZiYi in this video. She is very famous in China. Maybe it will help spread this beautiful Coldplay song to China. Just a thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancyk58 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I tried to find some media description of Magic and found this: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/coldplay-learn-some-new-tricks-in-magic-video-20140407 Coldplay Learn Some New Tricks in 'Magic' Video Singer Chris Martin plays both hero and villain in silent film By Kory Grow April 7, 2014 11:50 AM By the end of Coldplay's video for "Magic," the light-alt first single off their forthcoming album Ghost Stories, frontman Chris Martin's head spins – literally. The plot revolves around Cecile, "a beautiful young 'magicienne,'" Claude, "her mustachioed husband, the famous but drunk magician," and Cecile's assistant Christoph – but basically it's an excuse to get an attractive young woman (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon actress Zhang Ziyi) who can pull off fancy, tasseled sunglasses to throw knives at Chris Martin, playing her assistant. Stylized as a black-and-white silent film with "Magic" replacing the ragtime jazz that opens the clip, the video shows Martin providing a safe alternative to her abusive and misogynistic husband (also Chris Martin!), in turn fitting the love song with a love story. The story ends with a suitably "magical" finale. Coldplay previewed Ghost Stories in February with a chilly video for the track "Midnight" in February. The next month, they played the new album, out May 19th, in order at a Los Angeles concert to a crowd of 800, and a few days after that, reprised some of those numbers at their iTunes Fest appearance during South by Southwest. Martin also made headlines outside of his band in March when he announced his separation from wife Gwyneth Paltrow. In a post titled "Conscious Uncoupling" via Paltrow's GOOP newsletter, they wrote that they still want to keep the idea of a family for their children. "We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been," they wrote. "We are parents, first and foremost, to two incredibly wonderful children and we ask for their and our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time. We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and co-parent, we will be able to continue in the same manner."

scubacat Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Awe my he's far to handsome lol I like the video, what was that water scene for that they showed the picture of ? Did they comment on that at all after ? If you're talking about the picture of Chris on the diving board, it's for the DVD/NBC special they filmed a few weeks ago in LA. It was on the video screens toward the end of the concert (I can't remember which song), but someone else described it more in the following link if that's what you were referring to. http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/threads/99183-22-Mar-2014-Coldplay-Sony-Pictures-Studios-Los-Angeles-USA?p=5630355&viewfull=1#post5630355 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lonely Martian Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I'm going to take the unpopular opinion and say this is by far Coldplay's best music video yet. Again, in my opinion. X1000 better than Anton Corbijn's Viva la Vida and the original Trouble music video combined! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
