Coldplay 'Magic' by Jonas Akerlund
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...
