The 17 m diameter MAGIC telescope, located on the Canary island of La Palma, is the largest single-dish Cherenkov telescope for unveiling the gamma-ray universe. It reaches the lowest energy threshold among ground-based gamma-ray observatories: 55 GeV for normal observations, and as low as 25 GeV using a dedicated trigger system developed for pulsar observations. MAGIC also features a unique fast follow-up capability for tracking transients like gamma-ray bursts. Since Fall 2004 MAGIC has been taking data routinely, successfully detecting different classes of VHE sources like pulsar wind nebulae, gamma-ray binaries, pulsars, active galactic nuclei and radio galaxies. Here we review some of the most relevant results from recent observations, and report about the status of MAGIC-II, a stereoscopic extension by a second 17-m telescope already in operation.
