* ''[[xxxHolic×××HOLiC]]'' has a chapter where Yuuko demonstrates the difference between a Phony Psychic who tries to ask for more money to give Watanuki some love, and a real psychic who guesses Watanuki's name and ghost-seeing abilities without even talking to him.
* Mai Valentine pulled a fake psychic act at first in the Duelist Kingdom arc of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''; in reality, she scented all her cards with unique scents so she'd know by scent which cards she'd draw. Joey figured out her trick when he closed his eyes and noticed the scents. [[Fridge Logic|Despite having caught a cold a few episodes ago from diving into the ocean in an attempt to recover Yugi's Exodia cards.]]
** Espa Roba also pulls a phony psychic stunt in the Battle City tournament, with help from his brothers spying on his opponents' cards and relaying them through a headset.
