Penn and Teller's Smoke and Mirrors/Mofo the Psychic Gorilla



Mofo the Psychic Gorilla is a psychic take on the classic "guess which card" trick. Supposedly the ideomotor phenomenon can be used to read minds. Of course, that's all bunk.

This trick depends on the owner sneaking a peek on the selected card and covertly telling the game which card it was.

Entering the card


The game will ask the patsy to establish a psychic connection with Mofo. And the owner will help explain the controls. During the supposed help, the owner has to enter the card.

To enter the card, first tap twice. A green sparkle will appear on the crystal bowl. and will move the sparkle around the screen. The position of the sparkle corresponds to the value of the card.

To enter the suit, press the dpad while the first green sparkle is movable. A second green sparkle will appear on the suits in the middle right of the screen, tap the direction corresponding to the suit to move the sparkle to it.

To lock in the selection tap twice again. The patsy can now press and answer Mofo's questions however they like with  and.
