MAGIC is a system of two 17m Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes, located at the Observatorio Roque de los Muchachos on the Canary Island of La Palma. MAGIC measures gamma rays in the very high energy regime between around 50 GeV and 50 TeV. In this presentation, highlights from Galactic and extragalactic observations and transient follow up programs are presented, as well as the performance and recent technical upgrades of the telescopes.
