Let $G=(V, E)$ be a graph and let $(A,+)$ be an Abelian group with identity elemento. Let $f: V \rightarrow A$ be a vertex labeling and $f^*: E \rightarrow A$ be the induced labeling of $f$, defined by $f^*\left(v_1 v_2\right)=f\left(v_1\right)+f\left(v_2\right)$ for all $v_1 v_2 \in E$. Then $f^*$ again induces a labeling say $f^{* *}: V \rightarrow A$ defined by $f^{* *}(v)=\sum_{v v_1 \in E} f^*\left(v v_1\right)$. A graph $G=(V, E)$ is said to be an Induced $A$-Magic Graph (IAMG) if there exists a non zero labeling $f: V \rightarrow A$ such that $f \equiv f^{* *}$. The function $f$, so obtained is called an Induced $A$-Magic Labeling (IAML) of $G$ and a graph which has no such Induced Magic Labeling is called a Non-induced magic graph. In this paper we discuss the existence of Induced Magic Labeling of some special graphs like $P_n, C_n, K_n$ and $K_{m, n}$.
