Copy the 24k Magic AI dance prompt below into an AI video tool that takes two reference photos. We ran it once in Wan 3.0 with two portraits, so you can see what it got right, what it missed and what to change next. Rather not write a prompt? Make it here from two photos; the ship, the moves and every camera cut come from the trend's own clip.

  • For: AI video tools that take two reference photos
  • Length: written for a 10-second clip
  • Shape: set the tool to 16:9
Copy and paste

The full 24k Magic AI dance prompt

Paste this into an AI video tool that takes reference photos. Add the main dancer's photo first and the cameo's photo second, and set the shape to 16:9. If your tool calls the photos something other than Image1 and Image2, change those two words. In our run the shots came in order, but the deck had no stairs and the second person stood in the doorway instead of leaning out (see below).

For a tool that takes only one photo, drop the corridor and the last close-up and make it a solo deck dance. We have not run that version.

Prompt

Widescreen 16:9 dance video on a cruise ship at golden hour, in the style of the 24k Magic AI dance trend: warm low sunlight, blue ocean behind white railings and white stairs, a warm wood deck. Image1 is the main dancer and Image2 makes a short cameo at the end; keep each person's face, hair and clothes from their image the whole time. 0-2 s: close-up of Image1 in a warm, softly lit ship lounge, smiling into the camera and tapping their chest to the beat. 2-6 s: low wide full-body shot on the sunny deck, Image1 dances alone with knee bends, sliding steps and shoulder bounces. 6-8 s: a shaded corridor that opens onto the sea, Image2 leans out from behind a door frame and dances in the doorway while Image1 keeps dancing far behind at the railing. 8-10 s: close-up of Image2 touching the top of their head and grinning. Exactly two people, five fingers on each hand, no captions or on-screen text.

  1. The ship — "Cruise ship at golden hour", "white railings and white stairs" and "a warm wood deck" describe the look of the trend without using footage from it.
  2. The two roles — "Image1 is the main dancer and Image2 makes a short cameo at the end" says who does what, and "keep each person's face, hair and clothes" stops the two of them drifting toward each other.
  3. The shot list — The four timed parts set the order of the camera: lounge close-up, deck wide, corridor, final close-up. Without times, most models pick one framing and stay on it.
  4. The clean-up line — "Exactly two people", five fingers and no captions cut down on a third person, warped hands and stray text.
Shot by shot, then a real run

What the 24k Magic prompt asks for, and what Wan 3.0 made of it

Four shots in the prompt, one real run: here is which shots Wan 3.0 followed when we gave it two portrait photos.

The 10 seconds, shot by shot

If your tool makes shorter clips, keep the order and squeeze the timing. The 15-second clip on this site has six shots, with the corridor starting at about 10 seconds.

  1. 0 s–2 s

    Close-up of the main dancer in a warm ship lounge, smiling and tapping their chest.

  2. 2 s–6 s

    Low wide shot on the sunny deck: knee bends, sliding steps, shoulder bounces.

  3. 6 s–8 s

    The corridor: the second person leans out of a doorway and dances, the main dancer far behind.

  4. 8 s–10 s

    Close-up of the second person touching their head and grinning.

Our run in Wan 3.0

Mostly right: both people kept their look the whole time, and the four shots came in the order asked, with cuts at about 2, 6 and 8 seconds. The deck and the corridor are where it slipped; see Missed below.

Prompt we used

Widescreen 16:9 dance video on a cruise ship at golden hour, in the style of the 24k Magic AI dance trend: warm low sunlight, blue ocean behind white railings and white stairs, a warm wood deck.

Missed
The deck had no stairs and the camera was not low; the chest taps became pointing at the camera; the second person stood in the doorway smiling instead of leaning out and dancing; jeans and white sneakers were made up, because the photos stop at the chest

Fixing common problems with the 24k Magic prompt

These are starting points to try. Change one thing per run, so you know what helped.

  • The deck has no stairs or looks flat

    Try next
    Put the stairs in the deck line itself: "low camera near the floor, white stairs rising behind the dancer"
    Leave alone
    The ship line

  • The second person just stands in the doorway

    Try next
    Give them a move: "leans out sideways from behind the door frame, then steps into the doorway and dances with big arm swings"
    Leave alone
    The timings

  • The wrong person dances on deck

    Try next
    Check the photo order: the main dancer first (Image1), the cameo second
    Leave alone
    The rest of the shot list

  • The camera never cuts

    Try next
    Start each timed part with the framing word ("close-up", "wide shot") and add "hard cut between shots"
    Leave alone
    The timings

  • Trousers or shoes you weren't wearing

    Try next
    Use full-body photos, or name the whole outfit in the prompt
    Leave alone
    The face and top, if they held

The 24k Magic prompt vs two photos here

A prompt lets you describe any ship and any moves, and the camera is the model's own idea. Photos here give you the trend's own clip and cuts, without writing anything.
