"Coldplays"song "magic" is an narrative type of music video as the images imitate the lyrics of the song. The images give us a better understanding of the track as we learn that the man that is in love with the assistant and is a magician  linking in with the tittle of the song "magic"We then learn that he uses magic to break up a abusive relationship that his assistant is involved in.This is shown to the viewer through extreme close up shots of bruises on the assistants arm and text explaining things further.Also I like how the video is done in black and white as it immediately gives the connotations that it is set in the past
