Penn and Teller's Smoke and Mirrors/Sun Scorcher

Sun Scorcher is a shoot 'em up featuring new and exciting Thermo Graphics™. Just, remember to keep your fingers away from the tv!

Or at least that's the story the patsy is told by the game. Your role as presenter is to discredit the claims and then suffer the price of hubris. In other words, it's a performance requiring acting skills.

The scam needs to be armed before it can trigger. To do so, press three times quickly while player 2 is entering their name. Successful arming can be confirmed by holding and looking for a small star to the left of the letter C in the controls listing.

Once armed, let player two start the game. Get ready to act your role. The idea is to remove your hand just in the nick of time the first two times the "thermo graphics" are deployed. The third time that they are deployed the game will pretend to break the tv by switching into endless static. That's when you "accidentally" leave your hand on the screen and feign the injury. Make sure to practice to get the timing right.
