Motivated by recent Physical Review Letters of Wang-Liu and Ledwith-Vishwanath-Khalaf, we study Tarnopolsky-Kruchkov-Vishwanath chiral model of two sheets of $n$-layer Bernal stacked graphene twisted by a small angle using the framework developed by Becker-Embree-Wittsten-Zworski. We show that magic angles of this model are exactly the same as magic angles of chiral twisted bilayer graphene with multiplicity. For small inter-layer tunneling potentials, we compute the band separation at Dirac points as we turning on the tunneling parameter. Flat band eigenfunctions are also constructed using a new theta function argument and this yields a complex line bundle with the Chern number $-n$.
