Step-by-step tutorial: the 24K Magic AI video closest to the original

Part of our AI dance generator collection: 14 dance templates you can make today.

What happens in our example, a woman in a dark t-shirt dances across a cruise ship deck while a bearded friend watches and fires a flare gun: A woman with a black bob grins in a dark cabin doorway and pops her collar, then kicks, stomps and squats across the sunny top deck of a cruise ship. A bald man with a beard in a grey-green shirt leans in a corridor watching her, scratches his head in a close-up, eyes a red flare gun in a wall case and grins with clenched fists. By the ship's funnels she drops into the splits and dances at the camera while he peeks out from under a white blanket, and in the last shot he pops up in a white vent pipe and fires the flare gun.

What is the 24K Magic Dracula dance trend?

The 24K Magic trend starts with a scene from Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation, where Dracula dances alone on the deck of a cruise ship. On TikTok people put that clip to Bruno Mars' "24K Magic", and fans search for it as the Dracula cruise ship dance, the Hotel Transylvania dance or the "looking good" Dracula dance.

On 12 October 2026 @theraguler posted a live-action AI version that took off: one man grins in a doorway and dances across the top deck of a real cruise ship, with high kicks, a low squat and the splits, while his friend watches from a corridor, eyes the flare gun on the wall and finally fires it from a vent. It passed 5.1 million plays and 959,000 likes. This 24K Magic AI video generator makes that same 30-second video with your photo as the dancer and, if you like, a friend's photo as the one who watches.

24K Magic AI with one photo or with a friend

Both ways give the same 30-second video on the same cruise ship. The dancer is always photo 1.

  • Just you (1 photo): you are the dancer in every dance shot. The friend who watches from the corridor, hides under a blanket and fires the flare gun is an AI-made person, not anyone real.
  • You and a friend (2 photos): photo 1 dances, photo 2 is the friend who watches, grins and pops out of the vent. Tag the friend; the joke is theirs too.

The 24K Magic cruise ship dance second by second

We timed the AI version by @theraguler frame by frame. It is ten shots, all cut on the beat.

  • 0 to 2 s: close-up of the dancer in a dark cabin doorway, a big confident grin, hands at the chest.
  • 2 to 10 s: three shots on the sunny top deck: a high kick under the awning, a low camera on the kicking feet, then a wide shot by the stairs with a squat, shuffles and loose arms.
  • 10 to 19 s: the friend steps out of a corridor and leans on the wall while the dancer keeps going far behind, a close-up of the friend squinting and turning to watch, the red box with the flare gun on the wall, and the friend's sly grin with fists clenched.
  • 19 to 27 s: by the ship's funnels the dancer leaps past a padded dome, drops into the splits and dances towards the camera while the friend peeks out from under a blanket.
  • 27 to 30 s: the friend pops up inside a big white vent pipe and fires the flare gun into the sky.

How close this 24K Magic AI video is to the original

The motion comes from the AI version by @theraguler, turned into a depth video so the video model copies every cut, camera angle and dance move, but none of the people in it.

  • Same as the original: the cruise ship deck in late afternoon sun, the ten shots and their timing, the kicks, the squat, the splits, the corridor, the flare gun gag and the sound.
  • Changed on purpose: the dancer and the friend come from your photos; the dancer wears a dark t-shirt and black trousers like the original, the friend a grey-green shirt.
  • Not included: the people from the original video, its captions and any film footage or characters from Hotel Transylvania.

How to do the 24K Magic AI: by hand or in one click

The manual way

  1. Find a deck, a corridor and a friend willing to film ten shots, and learn the kicks and the splits.
  2. Cut the shots in CapCut on the beat of "24K Magic" and add the sound.
  3. Or ask an AI video app to animate one photo, which gives one shot, not the ten-shot story with a friend.

The one-click way

Here it is one click: upload your photo (and a friend's if you like), press Make, and the 24K Magic template films all ten shots with the cuts on the beat and the sound already under it. You get a 30-second 16:9 MP4 in 1080p without a watermark, and a failed render gives its credits back.

How to make the 24K Magic AI video

  1. Pick your photos

    You need 1-2 photos. Photo 1 (the dancer) (photo 1): does the whole cruise deck dance: the grin in the doorway, the kicks, the squat and the splits. One person. Photo 2 (the friend, optional) (photo 2): watches from the corridor, grins, hides under a blanket and pops out of a vent with the flare gun. Leave it empty and an AI friend plays the part. Use one person per photo with the face clearly visible.

  2. Upload and confirm

    Drop the photos into the maker on this page and confirm you have permission. Photos go straight to private storage and are deleted after 30 days.

  3. Sound is included

    There is no sound to pick: your video comes with its own sound. Add the trend sound inside TikTok when you post, so your post links to the trend.

  4. Wait for the render

    The 24K Magic AI video usually takes about 5–10 minutes. You can start another one or close the tab; it waits in Your videos.

  5. Download and post

    Download the 30-second MP4 without a watermark and post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts. Label it as AI-generated where the app asks.

This maker starts from the original 24K Magic AI clip itself, so your version keeps its scene, cuts, camera moves and sound and stays almost identical to the original; only the people change. The full 24K Magic AI video tutorial shows what stays the same, what changes and how to get the closest remake.

Photo tips for 24K Magic

  • Use one sharp photo per person, with only that person in it and the face clearly visible. A photo to the knees or full body helps the dance shots.
  • The dancer wears a dark t-shirt and black trousers in every shot, like the original, so the outfit in your photo does not matter much.
  • For the friend, a face photo with an expression you like works well: most of their shots are close-ups.

Who to cast

  • You dancing, your best friend watching
  • Your roommate as the dancer
  • You and your partner on holiday
  • The friend who always films you

24K Magic FAQ

What is the 24K Magic trend?

A TikTok trend from October 2026 built on the scene of Dracula dancing alone on a cruise ship deck in Hotel Transylvania 3, set to Bruno Mars' "24K Magic". AI versions recast it with real-looking people: one dances across the deck while a friend watches and grabs a flare gun.

Is this the Dracula cruise ship dance from Hotel Transylvania?

It follows the same idea, a lone dance on a cruise ship deck to "24K Magic", but as a live-action AI video with your face. It does not use any film footage or the Dracula character.

What song is in the 24K Magic AI video?

Bruno Mars' "24K Magic", as used in the trend's TikTok sound.

Do I need a second photo?

No. With one photo you are the dancer and an AI-made person plays the friend who watches. Add a second photo to make that friend someone you know.

Is this the same as a 24K Magic dance tutorial?

No. Searches for the 24K Magic dance are mostly people learning a choreography. This maker turns your photo into the cruise ship comedy video; you do not have to dance.

Can my dog or cat be the dancer?

Not in this template. It is made for people, and pets come out wrong in the splits and kicks.

How long is the video and how much does it cost?

A 30-second 16:9 MP4 in 1080p without a watermark, for 100 credits with one or two photos. You see the price before you pay, and a failed render gives the credits back.

What happens to my photos?

They are used only to make your video and are not used to train models. See the privacy page for how long files are kept and how to delete them.

Is this affiliated with Hotel Transylvania, Bruno Mars or TikTok?

No. Remake Your Meme is an independent tool and is not affiliated with Sony Pictures Animation, Hotel Transylvania, Bruno Mars, TikTok or the creators of the clips we credit.

How much does a 24K Magic video cost?

Each video uses 100 credits: $8.90 paid once, or from $5.60 with a monthly plan. Credits are taken only when the video finishes, and failed videos are refunded automatically.

What happens to my photos?

They are stored privately on Cloudflare, sent to the video model only through short-lived links, never used for training, and deleted with the video after 30 days.
