The Great Magician King Song Contest
Channel: magiciankingsongs
Date: 2012-05-17

The Magician King -- a bestselling novel by Lev Grossman, who is me -- is coming out in paperback on May 29. To celebrate/promote/generally raise awareness of the release, I'm holding a contest: post a cover version of Parry Gripp's "I Wanna Be a Magician" on YouTube and you could win $250.

To celebrate/promote/generally disseminate the contest, I have posted this humiliating video of myself trying to play "I Wanna Be a Magician" on the cello. Enjoy!
