Magic to Do is the opening number in Pippin (musical). It was written and introduced by Ben Vereen in the Broadway production and performed by Northern Calloway in London. The entire song runs slightly under 4 minutes.

The song is sung by the Leading Player who invites the audience to watch a show about a prince living in Charlemagne's France who is searching for fullfillment and does not know where to go in life. In the start of the song, only the Leading Player sings. Fastrada and the Chorus come in at the end.
