Calling all Mika’s Magic Numbers players – the end is almost here.

For the past few months you’ve been racing to accumulate points by entering competitions, buying tickets, merch and records and contributing to the Mika fanclub.

Alas, all good things must end, and the game is coming to a close on October 31st, 2010.

At that time, the very top players will be invited to an exclusive, intimate Mika gig. Yet more leading number nabbers will be invited to an exclusive Champagne reception with Mika himself.

In the meantime, we will no longer be awarding points for posting comments, photos or videos to mikasounds. You’ve all done us proud and helped build a thriving community. Now we think it’s time to let it grow at its own pace.

Instead there’ll be two new ways you can win points as Mika’s Magic Numbers draws to a close.

First up, we want YOU to design a Mika t-shirt. You can be as creative as you like, let your imagination run wild. All entries will be posted on the site and get you a 1000 Mika points.

The winner – as chosen by Mika – will see their design put into production for sale in the Mika Store and also earn 25,000 Mika Points. Just email your designs to tshirts@mikasounds.com for your chance to win.

Secondly, we want to know what you think of Mika’s music – post a video review of your favourite albums and singles to date and it’ll earn you 1500 points.

Good luck everyone.

Please be aware that the trailer does contain some scenes of violence.

‘KICK-ASS’ is a brand new, high-octane superhero film, based on   the Marvel comic of the same name, directed by Matthew Vaughn,  and coming to your screens this spring.

And guess what? Mika’s singing the title song on the soundtrack!

Following the devastating earthquake in Haiti, Mika is showing his support by donating various pieces of memorabilia for auction. Having successfully auctioned the milk carton from the ‘Rain’ video last week, now up for auction are the t-shirt he wore in the Haiti video, plus a CD single of ‘Everybody Hurts’, both signed and doodled on by Mika himself!

Mika says: ‘I was hugely honoured to be asked by The Sun to be part of this single. I am really pleased with how it turned out, it sounds fantastic, and I hope the public will support it to raise money for this worthy cause.’ Click here to download the single now.

Click here to make your bid now – don’t hang about as the auction closes 5:11pm (GMT) ON February 25.

All proceeds will then be donated to British Red Cross Disaster Fund to help with their work in Haiti…Happy bidding!
