The new 17m MAGIC telescope will operate at extremely low energy threshold for Air Cherenkov detectors. In order to restore primary spectra, it is necessary to have an absolute light calibration of the telescope camera. A system for such optical calibration is already realized in the MAGIC project. One can use muon ring images as another possibility to perform the calibration. Cherenkov light from local muons and gamma-induced showers has the similar spectrum. Parameters of muon (energy, impact parameter, inclination angle) can be obtained from the muon ring image. Using these muon parameters one can calculate the total amount of Cherenkov light in the telescope camera analytically. Thus, a conversion factor from photons to ADC count can be determined. In this report we present a method of the MAGIC telescope calibration with muon rings.
