* PlausibleDeniability: The manual provides instructions on how to skip the normal Penn & Teller intro and skip to the intro for Buzz Bombers. If you fail to input the code to do so, Penn and Teller mention in their intro that the disc contains a demo for the game rather than being the game itself.

If you fail to input start Buzz Bombers in the code to do so, suboptimal way, Penn and Teller mention in their intro that will cover for the owner by spinning a story about how the disc contains a demo for the game rather than being the game itself.

'''''Penn and Teller's Smoke and Mirrors''''' is a 1995 game featuring illusionist duo Creator/PennAndTeller. It was made for the UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer, UsefulNotes/ThreeDOInteractiveMultiplayer, and UsefulNotes/SegaCD. Although the game was completed, it was unreleased when its publisher, Creator/AbsoluteEntertainment, went bankrupt, although the game had appeared in gaming publications beforehand. It resurfaced years later when an owner to a website that documents unreleased games received a copy of the Sega CD version from an initial reviewer.
