Make sure you check out Joel Farris' answer if you're using an up-to-date version of MAMP

I finally managed to get it installed properly using Homebrew and the instructions here: http://egoco.de/post/23167969231/installing-imagemagick-for-php-and-mamp

I did have to run brew doctor and brew link a couple of times to fix dependencies (and change permissions on a file or two), and use

brew install php54-imagick

rather than the one mentioned at the url.

The extension he mentions at the end (the bit you have to paste in your different ini files) is:

[imagick]
extension="/usr/local/Cellar/php54-imagick/3.1.0RC2/imagick.so"

Hope it helps!
