Using the \"Magic Star\" projection of $\\mathfrak{e}_{8(-24)}$, we show that the geometric structure of SYM's in $11+3$ and $12+4$ space-time dimensions is recovered from the affine symmetry of the space $AdS_{4}\\otimes S^{8}$, with the $8$-sphere being a line in the Cayley plane. By reducing to transverse transformations, along maximal embeddings, the near horizon geometries of the M2-brane ($AdS_{4}\\otimes S^{7}$) and M5-brane ($AdS_{7}\\otimes S^{4}$) are recovered.
