"The magician" is the first single from Frost's upcoming album "Radio magnetic", the Norwegian duo's first release "Love! Revolution!" back in 2007. Can't say that I'm all that crazy about the song with those weak synthy horns, but the clip is definitely something to look at. Direct link: http://vimeo.com/13890486
