  The Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov (MAGIC) Telescope
collaboration is constructing a large Cherenkov telescope (17 m diameter) for
the exploration of the gamma-ray energy regime above 10 GeV with high
sensitivity. One of the highlights in the science program of this future
observatory are the plans for fast follow-up observations of of GRBs. By
``fast'' we mean delays of less than 30 s between notification and the
beginning of observations. The expected gamma counting rates are of the order
of 100 Hz for a EGRET counting rate of 0.1 Hz above 100 MeV and a spectral
index of 2.0 (this would correspond to a fluence of 10^{-5} erg cm^{-2} for 60
s burst duration).
  The good photon statistics will permit determination of spectra, search for
cutoffs and measurement of light-curves with a time resolution of the order of
1 s.
