The ($d$, ${}_{}{}^6{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$) reaction on ${}_{}{}^{24}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Mg}$ and ${}_{}{}^{26}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Mg}$ has been measured at a bombarding energy of 80 MeV. Angular distributions were obtained in an angular range of 6° (2° for the ground state transitions) to 35° lab. Experimentally an excitation energy range up to 30 MeV was observed. In the framework of finite-range distorted-wave Born approximation calculations $\alpha$ spectroscopic factors were extracted and compared to recent shell-model predictions.
