the magician in the music video red wine supernova: magical Katrina

Hi, I'm Katrina—Magical Katrina, actually. I’m a female magician, performer, and artist. And recently, I had one of the most magical experiences of my life: being part of Chappell Roan’s powerful music video, Red Wine Supernova.

I wasn’t just in the background. I brought real magic to the screen—literal illusions, symbolism, and emotion—and I discovered so much about myself in the process. Playing the female magician in Red Wine Supernova wasn’t just another gig. It was a moment of deep transformation, both professionally and personally.

From the moment I heard the concept of Red Wine Supernova, I knew it was something special. Chappell Roan’s voice, the emotion in her lyrics, the bold visuals—it all pointed to a celebration of self-expression, love, and unapologetic femininity. And then they told me: We want you to be the magic. Not background flair, but a central, symbolic figure.

That’s when I realized that this wasn’t just a chance to perform—it was a chance to be the metaphor.

As a female magician, I’ve spent years navigating an industry often dominated by men. But on the set of Red Wine Supernova, I felt powerful. I felt seen. I got to use my craft—not just to entertain—but to represent transformation, mystery, and feminine strength. Every illusion I performed carried weight. It wasn’t just about technique; it was about meaning.

This experience reminded me that magic isn’t only about tricks. It’s about storytelling, about emotion. And as a female magician, I have something unique to bring to that table—something that this music video allowed me to fully express.

Before this, most of my magic was live—on stage, in front of audiences where I could feel their energy. But filming for Red Wine Supernova was different. I had to adjust everything for the camera: angles, timing, even eye contact.

Working with the cinematographer and director, I learned how to make illusions that would still feel real through a screen. I found new ways to connect with viewers emotionally, even though we weren’t in the same room. That was a huge lesson. It taught me that the heart of magic—connection—can still shine through, no matter the medium.

One of the most talked-about moments in Red Wine Supernova is when I transform red wine into other elements—flowers, smoke, and more. That was one of my favorite sequences.

Wine, to me, represents passion and complexity. Transforming it through magic reflected how emotions shift—how love burns bright, fades, and sometimes reignites in surprising ways. As a female magician, I loved the chance to show how powerful transformation can be. That scene felt like a visual poem.

Every illusion I performed in Red Wine Supernova was carefully planned to match the beat and feeling of the song. During softer verses, I kept my magic subtle and slow—almost like a whisper. But when the chorus hit, I brought out bolder, more striking visuals. This rhythm helped amplify the emotions in the song, and it was beautiful to be part of that collaboration.

But it also made me reflect: magic isn’t just for entertainment. It can heal. It can highlight emotions. It can be a mirror for what we’re feeling inside.

Let’s be real: people still don’t expect to see women doing magic—especially not in high-production music videos. But being part of Red Wine Supernova showed that those walls are breaking down.

I was treated with respect on set. My ideas mattered. My voice was heard. And through this, I realized how far I’ve come as a female magician, and how important it is to keep pushing for representation in every space—especially creative ones.

Another big lesson? Magic alone isn’t enough. What made Red Wine Supernova so special was how every part of the production worked together: the lighting, the costumes, the movement, the emotion, and of course—Chappell’s incredible performance.

I collaborated closely with the director and post-production team to make sure my illusions fit seamlessly. I learned how even the smallest detail—like the color of smoke or the flicker of a flame—can change the mood entirely.

What I loved most was layering meaning into every trick. Like when I made flowers bloom quickly and then fade—that wasn’t just a cool visual. It represented how love can grow and die in the blink of an eye. Or when objects disappeared and reappeared? That was about the ghost-like feeling of memories.

That’s what made this role so different. I wasn’t just doing magic—I was telling a story through magic. And that changed me. As a female magician, I felt like I had finally found a platform where all my talents could speak at once—art, emotion, skill, and presence.

One of the things I decided to do was look right into the camera at key moments. I wanted viewers to feel like I was connecting with them, one-on-one. Like the magic was just for them. It’s a small thing, but it made a big impact.

People have messaged me saying they felt like they were seen in those moments. That’s everything I ever wanted as a performer—to make people feel something real.

More than anything, being the female magician in Red Wine Supernova taught me how much magic still matters in this modern world. People crave wonder. They want to believe in something bigger. And magic—especially when rooted in emotion—can give them that.

I walked away from this project more confident in my own magic, more proud of my identity as a female magician, and more grateful for every opportunity to show the world what women in magic can do.

Looking back, Red Wine Supernova wasn’t just a music video. It was a bold, artistic expression of love, transformation, and empowerment. And I was honored to be the magician guiding that story along.

If you’ve watched the video and felt something—whether it was curiosity, emotion, or even just the urge to watch it again—then I’ve done my job.

I’ll never forget what it felt like to stand in the middle of that dreamy set, wearing my costume, palms open, magic rising from my fingertips... knowing that this moment would be more than just “cool.” It would mean something.

Because that’s what magic is at its best: meaningful, moving, and unforgettable.

I’m Katrina, the female magician behind Red Wine Supernova—and I’m just getting started.
