Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors
Inside Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors
Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors is a canceled minigame compilation for the SEGA CD, originally developed by Absolute Entertainment and designed to showcase the mischievous humor of the magician duo Penn & Teller. It was slated for release in the mid-1990s but was pulled before hitting store shelves, making it a rare piece of gaming history that later surfaced online through ROM dumps. The game's premise revolves around practical jokes and subverting expectations, fitting the duo's irreverent style.
How to Play Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors Online
Getting Started: Start by selecting a minigame from the main menu. Each of the six games has its own objective, ranging from party tricks to competitive scams. For most games, use the D-Pad to move and the A or B buttons to interact. Desert Bus, perhaps the most infamous entry, tasks you with driving a bus along a straight, empty highway for eight hours to earn a single point. There is no pause or save, so endurance is key. Other minigames rely on tricking opponents or reacting quickly. Experiment with each to get a feel for their unique rules - none of them are standard arcade fare, and many are designed to mess with players in unexpected ways.
