Upstart VMA-nominee is joined by Weezer's Rivers Cuomo at raging house party in new clip.

You can't blame [artist id="3238990"]B.o.B[/artist] if he wanted to pinch himself.

The [article id="1646000"]VMA-nominated newcomer[/article] is riding an enormous wave via his debut album, [article id="1645947"]The Adventures of Bobby Ray,[/article] which has spawned three consecutive top 10 singles, "Nothin' on You," "Airplanes" and his latest, "Magic." And for his "Magic" clip, the Atlanta rapper recruited director Sanaa Hamri (Jay-Z, Christina Aguilera) who put B.o.B in the middle of a raucous house party.

But in the video, which premiered Thursday (September 2) at midnight on MTV.com, Bobby Ray can't seem to believe his good fortune. As he and his [article id="1647098"]"Magic" collaborator, Weezer's Rivers Cuomo[/article], jam in the backyard, B.o.B mentally traces back to earlier in the day when the young rapper first wakes up. B.o.B tries to shake awake a sleeping version of himself but to no avail.

The girls, the party, all the happenings do seem to be going on -- and all for him. Partygoers run through the house and Bobby Ray snaps pictures with the girl of his dreams. But in an instant -- as quick as he's been clicking Polaroid pictures -- the party is over and B.o.B awakens.

Turns out he was dreaming.

The sleep-eyed MC, however, takes a look around his bedroom and notices two photos on the ground: two snapshots of him and his leading lady. He's got the magic, indeed.

Last week, "Magic" landed on the Billboard Hot 100 at the #10 position. The track follows "Nothin' on You," which went to the top of the chart, and "Airplanes," a top 5 hit. Also on Thursday, [article id="1646958"]B.o.B opened for Eminem and Jay-Z[/article] during the superstar MCs' Home and Home concert series in Detroit; he's scheduled to open for the pair again on Friday (September 3), and later this month in New York.
