Museum of London - Search catalogue 1 Citation Nevil Maskelyne constructed this automaton, named 'Psycho', in the guise of an oriental magician. He played thousands of performances at the Egyptian Hall in Piccadilly. According to the 'Times': 'Psycho could spell words with lettered cards, answer mathematical problems, perform conjuring tricks, and smoke cigarettes incessantly. His most famous feat was playing whist or nap with members of the audience - games which he played honestly and by no means always won. He was a sufficient celebrity to be the subject of a 'Punch' cartoon.' Part of Psycho was removed before he was donated to the Museum and no-one has figured out how he was capable of such amazing exploits., delicious.com

Victorian London - Entertainment and Recreation - Theatre - Magicians 1 Citation Egyptian Hall - At Messrs. Maskelyne and Cooke's entertainment there has lately been introduced a small figure, 22 inches high, called Psycho, which goes through some most wonderful performance. Mr. Maskelyne first invites some of the audience upon the stage to examine the interior of the figure; then Psycho is placed on a hollow glass pedestal and the performance begins. Psycho first multiplies two numbers given by the audience together, and, though he does not speak, shows the numbers one after the other to the audience; he then plays a game of whist with three gentlemen from the audience, and afterwards picks out and names, by striking a bell, the cards chosen by persons in the hall from the pack of cards previously used., delicious.com
