These Competition Rules should be read together with Bauer’s general Competition Terms and Conditions which will also apply to this competition and are located [here].

  1. We’ve selected three mystery celebrities to say a part of the words ‘Magic 105.4′. All you have to do is identify our mystery voices and you could be walking away with an amazing cash prize.
  2. The competition is played from 7am to 6pm weekdays for this season of the competition, starting on September 21st 2009, and ending once the three mystery celebrities have been identified. If any of the £100K prize is left after the first winner we will play again for the remainder. Lines open for the competition at three minutes past the hour until quarter to the hour.  Please note that entries will not be accepted prior to lines opening nor subsequent to lines closing.
  3. For your chance to play, keep hold of these numbers and when instructed by our presenter, phone us on  090 16 16 54 54, or text 83333, and you will be asked to leave your contact details.
  4. You have to be over 18 and resident in the UK to play the competition.
  5. We will ask all callers who enter the competition by phone to press 1 on their keypad informing us that they agree with these terms and conditions.  If you do not press 1 then we cannot allow you to play.
  6. Please be aware that you will be charged 35p from a BT landline to call us.  Please consult your service provider if you are not calling from a BT landline as the charge could be a lot more. If you text in your entry, all texts cost 35p plus your standard network rate.
  7. If you call from a number we can identify, we will ask you only once if you agree to the terms and conditions for the competition regardless of the number of times you play during this season of Magic’s Mystery Voices competition.  However, we will ask you to press 1 each time you call if you are calling from a landline or mobile where we can not identify your number.
  8. If you’re calling from a number that does not accept withheld numbers please provide us with an alternative number as Magic will call you back from a withheld number.  If we can’t contact you we will be unable to connect you to studio lines should you be chosen to go through to the studio competition.
  9. One caller is selected at random to be put through to the studio competition every hour. Five further callers will be selected as back up. The calls and text entries we receive are combined each round for the random selection process and your method of entry does not affect your chance of selection.
  10. The selected entrants will then be contacted on the number they provided when entering the competition or the number they entered by text.  Reasonable efforts will be made to contact selected entrants; if for any reason the selected entrant is unable to be contacted on a direct line, such entry will be void for that round and we reserve the right to disqualify an entrant from the competition.
  11. In order to maintain the quality of our programming and protect listeners from harm, we may also disqualify callers if the caller is incomprehensible or inaudible (please ensure you have a good phone service or signal), or if it appears to our programmers that the caller is driving, intoxicated or likely to offend listeners.
  12. To enable all listeners a fair opportunity to participate and to maintain the skilful nature of the competition, callers selected to participate on-air will be disqualified from entering the competition for the following twenty-four hour period.
  13. To win a prize, you must correctly identify all three mystery voices broadcast by Magic as part of the competition.  If you correctly identify the three mystery voices, you will receive a cash prize, the amount of the cash prize dependent on the number of plays per game (each time a listener makes an identification will constitute a play). The prize starts at £10,000 and rises by £100 each time per play of the game up to a maximum of £100,000.
  14. You can enter the competition more than once but winners will not be allowed to re-enter.  In order to win, you must be correctly identify one of our three mystery voices which has not already been identified.

Whilst we make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the list, the list is subject to change, the availability of information and delays in compilation, and so should not be taken as containing all the names used in the Competition.

The prizes consist of a jackpot money prize, starting with a sum to be determined by the Promoter and increasing by £10 increments each 20 minutes until an entrant correctly clicks the “It’s Me!” button (the “Prize”). When an entrant successfully identifies his/her details, the jackpot accumulator will be reset to a base level determined by the Promoter. Prize Winners will be notified as soon as practicable if they have correctly identified their details and correctly clicked the “It’s Me!” button.  The decision of the Promoter in relation to all entries and Prize claims is final and no correspondence will be entered into.  If a Prize winner fails to respond to communication from the Promoter and/or fails (for whatever reason) to claim his/her prize within 28 days of receipt of the Promoter’s notification that he/she has won a Prize, the Prize winner who has not responded will not be entitled to a Prize or any alternative.  Details of Prize winners’ name and county of residence can be requested by writing to the Promoter at the Promoter’s address shown above.
