Coldplay 'Magic' by Jonas Akerlund

Jimmy Brown - 8th Apr 2014

Jonas Akerlund recreates the silent movie age in this very cute promo for Coldplay's Magic. 

Akerlund's video is set in a circus tent (in the foreground of what looks like downtown LA) with Chris Martin playing both goodie and baddie and Crouching Tiger actress Zhang Ziyi as the knife-thrower.

Chris then sets to work on his magic skills to lure Zhang away from her evil pantomime-like lover...
