    You can do it like this:

    **In your main view controller:**

    func showModal() {
    let modalViewController = ModalViewController()
    modalViewController.modalPresentationStyle = .OverCurrentContext
    presentViewController(modalViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }

    **In your modal view controller:**

    class ModalViewController: UIViewController {
    override func viewDidLoad() {
    view.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
    view.opaque = false
    }
    }

    **If you are working with a storyboard:**

    Just add a Storyboard Seque with `Kind` set to `Present Modally` to your modal view controller and on this view controller set the following values:

    Background = Clear Color
    Drawing = Uncheck the Opaque checkbox
    Presentation = Over Current Context
