Legend has it that if you were lucky enough to have your single played at Magic City and it got the dancers moving, it was fit for release. In its 40th year, five-part docuseries Magic City: An American Fantasy celebrates the storied Atlanta strip club, with Big Shaq, Big Boi, Nelly, Drake, 2 Chainz and TI amongst those spinning their yarns.
You can watch Magic City: An American Fantasy online from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free.
More than its fair share of superstars, in the fields of music and sports especially, have passed through the hallowed doors of 241 Forsyth Street and made Magic City their hangout, but the real unsung heroes behind the operation are, and always have been, the dancers.
Hard-as-nails women initially recruited as little more than eye-candy, who had to put with not only the overinflated egos of Magic City's distinguished clientele, but the hangers-on and the hell-raisers too. In the 90s, the club's reputation as a maker of stars preceded it, and the Black Mafia Family (BMF) drug gang gatecrashed the scene, to founder Michael "Magic" Barney's dismay.
Atlanta's reinvention as the "black Mecca" (a development charted in Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist) happened long before Magic City came along, but it grew into its cultural heartland.
