💥WE'VE MADE THE INSTRUMENTS DISAPPEAR! We've conjured up some Alakazam and Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo to produce, out of thin air, ACAPELLA tuneage about Magic! Now, don't YOU disappear!💥

It would seem ambitious enough to pick one artist and find acapella versions of their songs. To do so not only with multiple artists, but to adhere to a narrow theme....well, it's nothing short of magical!
If I hadn't told you before, I'm a big fan of acapella groups/troupes whatever they are called. I remember watching the acapella group singing competition TV show that aired about a decade ago called The Sing-Off. Oh, I just reread the piece to check if you mentioned it, and you did! It's music that's even more impressive to watch, as most of the groups work choreography into their songs too.
As a Ben Folds fan, I was thrilled when an all acapella covers album of Ben Folds and BFF (Ben Folds Five) songs was released a while ago. You probably know about it, but if not, here's the playlist link:
Oh, as much as I love acapella groups, I couldn't get behind that "Abracadabra" cover/medley by Toxic Audio. I appreciate their improv acapella skills, but this song made me think their group name was aptly chosen. The rest of the playlist picks I thought were excellent! Especially the The Flying Pickets version of "Everything She Does is Magic." And Sixth Wave is a band I knew, but hadn't heard that sublime version of ELO's "Strange Magic." One of my all-time favorite songs.
I also wanted to mention that I enjoyed the Weird Al “magic” gif at the end. You might say it is a “magif”!
