  We report about very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray observations of the Crab
Nebula with the MAGIC telescope. The gamma-ray flux from the nebula was
measured between 60 GeV and 9 TeV. The energy spectrum can be described with a
curved power law dF/dE=f_0 (E/300GeV)^(a+b log10(E/300GeV)) with a flux
normalization f_0 of (6.0+-0.2stat)*10^-10 cm^-2 s^-1 TeV^-1, a=-2.31+-0.06stat
and b=-0.26+-0.07stat. The position of the IC-peak is determined at 77+-47 GeV.
Within the observation time and the experimental resolution of the telescope,
the gamma-ray emission is steady and pointlike. The emission's center of
gravity coincides with the position of the pulsar. Pulsed gamma-ray emission
from the pulsar could not be detected. We constrain the cutoff energy of the
spectrum to be less than ~30 GeV, assuming that the differential energy
spectrum has an exponential cutoff. For a super-exponential shape, the cutoff
energy can be as high as ~60GeV.
