Familiar BGM from magic acts and shows. Recommended tracks to energize the stage (51–60)
All of MeGerald Marks & Seymour Simons
This piece, the jazz standard ‘All of Me.’ It has a distinctly mature mood, making it better suited for performances in slightly atmospheric venues like bars rather than glamorous TV-style magic shows.
Eine kleine Nachtmusik – Movement IWolfgang Amadeus Mozart
A lively and refreshing string piece that is considered one of Mozart’s most famous works.
Its opening makes a strong impact, so it works effectively on stage.
Mozart’s music is also said to have a relaxing effect, so it seems advantageous to incorporate it from that perspective as well.
SummerHisaishi Joe
Joe Hisaishi, who is both a classical music conductor and a composer, works on music for a wide range of Japanese dramas and films.
His piece “Summer” was also used in a car commercial in 2000.
I think it’s perfect for a dreamy, magical atmosphere.
Gonna Fly Now (Theme From “Rocky”)Bill Conti
This song is the so-called “Rocky theme.” It’s the track used in that iconic scene where Rocky undergoes grueling training, and its raw, untamed sound gives you a real boost of power.
Bringing that kind of wild energy into a magic show could be a great idea, too.
It’s a piece that multiplies the emotional impact many times over!
A Kind of MagicQueen
A soaring vocal rings out in “A Kind of Magic,” heightening the mystique of a magic show.
The song was released in 1986 by the legendary British rock band Queen and is included on the album of the same name.
It was composed by drummer Roger Taylor, who also wrote “Radio Ga Ga.” Roger completed the piece inspired by a line of dialogue from the fantasy film Highlander, for which the song had been selected.
Influenced by the fantasy film, it’s a track that radiates a distinctly magical atmosphere.
