How it is made

The 24K Magic AI Dance prompt and model

24K Magic AI Dance is made with Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier) by ByteDance. The prompt behind it has 5 parts, and the timing is what makes or breaks it.

Model
Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier)
Mode
Photo + motion reference to video
Length
10 seconds, 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9
Input
1 photo
  1. Replace the dancer The dancer of a 10-second cruise-deck reference clip is swapped for the person in your photo, and every cut, move and camera position is kept.
  2. Identity lock Your photo is the only source for the face, hair, build and outfit, held in the close-up, the low-angle shot and the wide shots, and nothing of the reference dancer is kept.
  3. Face shape Your face width, jaw and build stay as in your photo, so the opening close-up does not slim or reshape you toward the reference.
  4. Routine A grin with both hands under the chin, then sliding footwork, deep squats, kicks and arm swings on the sunny deck.
  5. Rules One dancer, an adult, five fingers, no logos, signs, text, subtitles or watermark.
How it opens
Replace the slim young man with short blond-brown hair, a dark grey t-shirt and black trousers in Video 1 with the person from Image 1…

Why it goes wrong when you do it yourself

  • Typing the singer's name into a prompt gets blocked by most tools, and when it works you get a celebrity look-alike you should not post.
  • Without a motion reference the close-up, the feet at the lens and the stair-side wide shots come out as a generic dance on the spot.
  • General models often keep the reference dancer's face or clothes, or slim your face in the close-up, unless the replace instruction and identity lock come first.
  • Each try costs model credits and several minutes, and getting four camera setups right in 10 seconds usually takes several tries.

How to make your 24K Magic AI Dance video

Upload one photo of yourself

Face to the camera, waist-up or full body, even light. The outfit in the photo is the outfit you dance in.

Pick the format

Choose 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, or 1:1 or 16:9.

Generate and download

Press Generate and the 10-second deck dance is rendered for you, an MP4 with no watermark and the 24K Magic sound already on it.

Post it

The trend sound is already on the video; swap it from your app's sound library if you like, and label the clip as AI-generated.

What is the 24K Magic AI Dance trend?

Updated · videosi is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or with the owners of any trend, song, game or brand named on its pages.

The 24K Magic AI dance trend puts a new person into a short dance filmed on a sunny cruise-ship deck, set to "24K Magic" by Bruno Mars (2016). Each clip opens on a close-up of the dancer grinning with both hands under the chin, cuts to a wide shot of them on the deck, drops to a low-angle shot of their feet at the lens, then shows the dance in wide shots beside a staircase with a blue sky behind. The choreography and camera moves echo the 2018 "Looking Good Dracula" scene on the ship in Hotel Transylvania 3, which is also where many TikTok users first saw the dance.

The AI version spread on TikTok at the end of October 2026. Dozens of near-identical posts dated 31 October to 3 November 2026 share one caption ("How I made the viral 24K Magic AI dance trend") and one sound, and tell viewers to open a CapCut template and drop in a photo. We could not confirm who made the first one: a template site names a TikTok account posting on 12 October 2026, but that comes from a company selling the template and is unverified. The posts we found show famous people (footballers, tennis and basketball players, actors) and cartoon characters on the deck, as well as ordinary people.

Older, non-AI versions of the same dance exist: in 2022 a TikTok user posted the Hotel Transylvania 3 scene next to his own recreation and reached 1.1 million views, and similar clips are still on TikTok.

This page makes your own 10-second version from one photo. You are the only dancer, in your own clothes, with the grin, the deck, the low-angle feet shot and the dance all built in, and the 24K Magic sound is already on the clip. It never uses the singer's or any film character's face.

24K Magic AI Dance: shot by shot

  1. 0-2 s

    The grin

    Close-up of you in a dim wood-panelled cabin, grinning with both hands tucked under your chin.

  2. 2-4 s

    On deck

    Cut to a wide shot: you in the middle of a sunny cruise-ship deck with white railings and a blue sky, starting to shuffle.

  3. 4-5.5 s

    Feet at the lens

    Low-angle shot with your shoes huge in the foreground as they slide and step.

  4. 5.5-8 s

    Stairs, deep squats

    Wide shot beside the staircase: bent-knee squats, a kick and loose arm swings.

  5. 8-10 s

    Funk finish

    The same wide shot as the dance gets faster, ending mid-move on the beat.

Tips for a better result

  • Face the camera

    The clip opens on a close-up of you grinning. A straight, front-facing photo with your eyes visible gives the model your real face.

  • Show your outfit

    Most of the clip is wide and low-angle shots of you dancing. A waist-up or full-body photo shows the model your clothes and shoes, so they stay the same in every cut.

  • Wear shoes that read

    The feet shot puts your shoes at the lens. Sneakers or boots in a full-body photo look best.

  • No sunglasses or masks

    Clear glasses are fine. Sunglasses, masks and hands in front of the face hide what the close-up is about.

Good to know before you make a 24K Magic AI Dance video

  • The video comes with the 24K Magic sound already on it. Your mouth does not match the lyrics.
  • You are the only dancer, and the deck, cabin and sky are made by the model, not taken from the film.
  • Likeness is not guaranteed and drifts most in the wide shots, where your face is small.
  • Only adults: photos of children, celebrities and public figures are not accepted. A failed, timed-out or blocked render returns its credits automatically.

24K Magic AI Dance: questions

What is the 24K Magic AI dance trend?

The 24K Magic AI dance trend is a TikTok edit, spreading since late October 2026, in which one photo makes you the dancer on a sunny cruise-ship deck to Bruno Mars's 24K Magic. On videosi you make your own 10-second version from one photo, with the grin, the low-angle feet shot and the dance built in and the song already on the clip.

How do I make the 24K Magic AI dance from one photo?

Upload one photo of yourself to videosi, pick 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 and press Generate. The 24K Magic AI dance is a 10-second MP4 with the trend sound on it, and you write no prompt: the cuts, the squats and the camera moves are built in. Rendering takes several minutes.

Is there a 24K Magic AI dance generator website?

Yes. videosi (videosi.io) is a web 24K Magic AI dance generator that turns one photo into the 10-second deck dance, with no app to install and no template link to copy. The motion and the prompt are built in, so you only choose the photo and the format. A standard video (Standard model, 720p) is 9 credits, with no watermark.

Is there a 24K Magic CapCut template or TikTok filter?

Most 24K Magic AI dance posts on TikTok in early November 2026 point to a CapCut template rather than a TikTok filter, and templates change or disappear often. videosi is independent and not affiliated with TikTok, CapCut or Bruno Mars. It is a web tool: upload one photo and download a 10-second MP4 with the sound on it.

What AI model or prompt makes the 24K Magic AI dance?

videosi makes the 24K Magic AI dance with ByteDance's Seedance model (Seedance 2.0 Mini by default; Fast, Pro and Seedance 2.5 Ultra are one click away) from a five-part prompt plus a 10-second motion reference clip. The full prompt is built in rather than published. Typed prompts alone usually lose the cuts and the low-angle feet shot.

How much does the 24K Magic AI dance cost?

The 24K Magic AI dance on videosi is not free: there is no free generation and no free trial. A standard 10-second video (Standard model, 720p) is 9 credits; better models and higher resolutions cost more. Credit packs start at $6.99 for 10 credits and never expire, plans start at $29.90 a month, and a failed render returns its credits.

Why doesn't my 24K Magic AI dance look like me?

The usual cause is the photo: sunglasses, a side angle, a group shot or a dark, grainy picture. For the videosi 24K Magic AI dance use one front-facing photo, waist-up or full-body, in soft light. Likeness is not guaranteed, and it drifts most in the wide deck shots where your face is small.

Can I put a celebrity, a friend or a pet in the 24K Magic AI dance?

Only an adult who has agreed to it. videosi does not accept photos of celebrities, public figures or minors, so the footballer and actor versions seen on TikTok are not possible here. A photo of your own pet can work, but the dance was made for a person and pet likeness is not guaranteed. Photos and results are deleted within 30 days.

What does 24K Magic mean in the AI dance trend?

In the 24K Magic AI dance trend, "24K Magic" is the 2016 Bruno Mars song the dance is set to, and videosi makes the one-photo version that puts you on a cruise-ship deck dancing to it. The deck, the cuts and the moves recall the 2018 Hotel Transylvania 3 "Looking Good Dracula" scene, which is why some posts call it the Dracula dance.

What song is used in the 24K Magic AI dance trend?

The trend uses "24K Magic" by Bruno Mars, released in 2016, although TikTok lists most clips as an original sound cut from it, and we have not matched the audio against the official track. The videosi clip is 10 seconds and comes with that sound already on it, so you do not need to add the song yourself.

Is the 24K Magic AI dance still trending?

Yes. As of early November 2026 the 24K Magic AI dance is spreading: near-identical template tutorials were posted from 31 October to 3 November 2026, the top ones reaching about 16,000 views. It is young and mostly template-driven, so it may fade fast. On videosi you can make your 10-second version now from one photo.

Can I make the 24K Magic AI dance with ChatGPT, Sora, Veo or Kling?

You can try, but the dance depends on a motion reference clip with a close-up, a low-angle feet shot and stair-side wide shots, which most chat apps do not take, and the singer's name is often blocked. videosi runs Seedance with the reference and a five-part prompt built in, for 9 credits per 10-second standard video.

How long is the 24K Magic AI dance, and does it have sound?

The videosi 24K Magic AI dance is 10 seconds long, in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 at the resolution you pick (720p on the Standard model), as an MP4 with no watermark and the 24K Magic sound already on it. Photos upload as JPG, PNG, WEBP or HEIC up to 10 MB.
