Magnetic curves are the trajectories of charged particals \linebreak which are influenced by magnetic fields and they satisfy the Lorentz equation. It is important to find relationships between magnetic curves and other special curves. This paper is a study of magnetic curves and this kind of relationships. We give the relationship between $\beta $-magnetic curves and Mannheim, Bertrand, involute-evolute curves and we give some geometric properties about them. Then, we study this subject for $\gamma $-magnetic curves. Finally, we give an evaluation of what we did.
