Scientific paper

MAGIC is presently the imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope with the largest reflecting surface and the lowest energy threshold. MAGIC concluded its first year of regular observation in April 2006. During this period and the preceding commissioning phase, several Gamma-Ray Bursts were observed by the MAGIC telescope thanks to its very fast slewing capabilities. The observations were triggered by GCN alerts received from SWIFT, HETE2 and INTEGRAL satellites and were performed various minutes following the alert. The threshold energies depend on the zenith angle of the burst location and span between 80 GeV and 200 GeV. Using standard MAGIC analysis, no evidence of gamma signals was found.
