In February 2004, Karleuša participated in the Beovizija music festival with "Moli me" featuring Marcus, placing 11th out of 28 entries.
Magija was promoted with two music videos for the songs "Upravo ostavljena" and "Slatka mala", which were condemned by religious groups and conservatives for the "sacrilegious" use of Christian symbols and for promoting homosexuality by displaying drag queens. The album also features vocals from Saša Matić on the track "Ne smem da se...".
