" Coldplay&amp;#039;s latest album Ghost Stories comes out next month, and the band has revealed the music video for their new single &amp;quot;Magic.&amp;quot; The song is what you&amp;#039;ve come to expect from Coldplay: mopey, heart-on-sleeve singing from Chris Martin over some simple but catchy guitar rock. But veteran music video director Jonas \u00C5kerlund has some fun with the clip, a sort of love letter to silent film and old traveling freak shows. The recently consciously uncoupled Martin stars as an assistant to an abusive magician who starts flirting with the magician&amp;#039;s wife, played by the always lovely Ziyi Zhang (from last year&amp;#039;s The Grandmaster). It&amp;#039;s about as ambitious as music videos get in 2014, and makes more more narrative sense than some other epic attempts in that medium of late.
