Magic (Chinese: 看我72變) is the fifth studio album by Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai, released on March 7, 2003, by Sony.[1] The album was produced by a team including Bing Wang, Peter Lee, Jamie Hsueh, Jay Chou, and Huang Yi, blending a variety of musical styles such as pop, disco, funk, folk, hip-hop, and British rock.[2][3]

The album was well received by music critics and was seen as a key turning point in Tsai's career, solidifying her shift towards a dance-pop music direction. It topped the Taiwanese album sales chart for 10 consecutive weeks, with sales exceeding 360,000 copies in Taiwan alone.[4] The album achieved over 1.5 million copies sold across Asia and was ranked as the second best-selling album in Taiwan for 2003.[5] It also earned Tsai the title of the best-selling female artist in Taiwan for the same year.[6]

Magic was nominated for Album of the Year at the 15th Golden Melody Awards, and Tsai was nominated for Best Female Mandarin Singer. Additionally, Baby Chung was nominated for Best Music Arrangement for his work on the track "Prague Square".[7] Chung ultimately won the award for Best Music Arrangement.[8]
