The shape of spirals formed by the interaction of a circumstellar disk with the magnetosphere in the magnetic propeller regime is examined in the ballistic approximation. The problem is solved analytically. The spirals and their cross sections are illustrated graphically. The possible effect of the magnetic propeller effect on the observed spectra of stars is discussed.
