Coldplay has shared their official video for new single "Magic."

The track is off the band's forthcoming album, Ghost Stories, which is due May 19 via Parlophone.

For the video, the band goes back in time with silent film-type visuals showcasing a magic show, of course. The clip was directed by Jonas Åkerlund, and stars Ziyi Zhang (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) as a magician, with Chris Martin doubling up as both her loyal assistant and beastly husband.
