                                    Resum

 MAGIC, which stands for a "Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov" is a
telescope which will see its first ligth in summer 2001 in the "Roque de los
Muchachos" observatory in the "La Palma" Canary Island. The main aim of this
 project is opening an unexplored window in Gamma Ray Astronomy. The present
   status of this field as well as the physics motivations for MAGIC, its
     observational principles and its main technical challenges will be
                                 discussed.
