Magic Night is a Rock-afire Explosion showtape released in ShowBiz Pizza Place locations from February to April of 1984, with a rerelease happening in October of 1984.

Revised Version

A tape variant labeled ‘Magic Night (Revised)’ was released to cut out the dated sections of Segment 8. This cut out the entirety of the intro, and reduced the Michael Jackson Melody to just the song ‘Beat It’. It is likely the variant rereleased in October of 1984 is this tape.^[1]

Part 1-3 Version

Reels have been found by James Marous that are labeled ‘Magic Night Part 1’, ‘Magic Night Part 2’, and ‘Magic Night Part 3.’ No other information is known about these tapes. The tapes from his collection were later damaged and are likely unrecoverable.
