Mac's moment Presents - Mr. Wizard 2010 Wizfest Champ

It’s time for another Mac’s Moment. I asked Mr. Wizard if he could tell me about his road to victory. His feelings about winning and the likes, instead, he sent me the below.

(read to the tune of Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the USA”)

I hopped off the plane in Toronto with a dream and a wizard deck
Welcome to the land of Wizard stars, whoa am I going to fit in?
Jumped into the first round, here I am for the third time
Look to my right, and I see Ken Mccoy, the slime

This is all so crazy, everyone seems so amazing
My tummy’s turning and I’m feelin kinda anxious
Too much pressure and I’m nervous
That’s when I start to get some good cards

And the wizards start to smack
And the wizards start to smack
And the wizards start to smack

So I put my hands up, I won the game
The competition fly away
I’m nodding my head like Yeah
Jumpin off chairs like Yeah!

So I put my hands up, I won the next round
And Now I’m gonna be okay
Yeah, There’s a party in the USA!
Yeah, There’s a party in the USA!

Get to the semi finals
Everybody’s lookin at me now
Like “who’s that kid with the cool hair”
He totally looks like Macgyver.

So hard with my Aunts not around me
But Mccoy is on my table with me
All I see are wizard pros
When I’m done I’m going to a strip show

My tummy’s turning and I’m feelin kinda anxious
Too much pressure and I’m nervous
But then I get a few wizards and I make it

And I’m off to the final round
And I’m off to the final round
And I’m off to the final round.

So I put my hands up, I won the game
The competition fly away
I’m nodding my head like Yeah
Jumpin off chairs like Yeah!

So I put my hands up, I won the next round
And Now I’m gonna be okay
Yeah, There’s a party in the USA!
Yeah, There’s a party in the USA!

Canada loses again, what a disgrace
I play my final card and take it all
Feel like rubbing it in Cargo face
MR. WIZARD IS THE CHAMP

So I put my hands up, I won the game
The competition fly away
I’m nodding my head like Yeah
Jumpin off chairs like Yeah!

So I put my hands up, I won it all
And Now I am truly the best
Yeah, There’s a party in the USA!
Yeah, There’s a party in the USA!

Mr. Wizard – Just for the record – Canada 4 USA 3
Mactonight – But the three USA victories are all your family – your brother won, your aunt won and now you.
Mr. Wizard – So what’s your point? How many have you and Cargo won?
Mactonight – I’ve made the finals once.
Mr. Wizard – HA!
Mactonight – Congratulation MR. Wizard, see you in Germany
Mr. Wizard – Are you really Perfect10?
Mactonight – Sure!


Join me next month when Brian W takes over and submits his own unique version of the Moments.

Once Upon a Time

Once Upon A Time

A long time ago, when the famous “Wizard Academy” in Stonehenge was still active, every apprentice was required to train his magical skills with various exercises. One of these exercises was a card game called “Wizard” which was designed to develop and progress the ability of premonition. Over the course of the millennia all knowledge of the training procedures of the “Wizard Academy” were lost and forgotten.
However the game was rediscovered when the renowned German archaeologist Dr. Harold Eitel unearthed an ancient scroll deep within the vaults beneath the monoliths of Stonehenge. The scroll described the cards used in the game of “Wizard”. Although the deeper meaning and arcane implications of the cards remain unclear the fundamental features of the cards themselves are similar to those described in the ancient scroll.
