41 Best Magic Songs – Songs With Magic In The Title
Last Updated: March 7, 2023 | Written by Matthew Campbell (Editor of My Wedding Songs and wedding DJ)
Magic Day is celebrated annually on October 31. What better way to celebrate the day than a top 10 list of Magic songs? All songs listed have the word magic in the song title.
That is why we are leaving off the famous song “Abracadabra” by Steve Miller Band.
Why was the date set on October 31? Because it is the day that Harry Houdini died in 1927. Commonly known as Houdini, he is the most recognized name in the magician world.
Other famous magicians include David Copperfield, Chris Angel, Lance Burton, Penn & Teller, and Siegfried & Roy. All of whom have performed in a Las Vegas showroom.
