According to Victor, it was never the intention to raise a gorilla in Mindf*ck so often. “No, it happened to have grown so much. He was hidden throughout the first episode as part of an experiment on attention blindness, “he explains.

Victor is now 37 years old and he hopes to be able to sustain Mindf*CK for the next ten years. “At least we will continue with the program, it just remains fun to make. It is an option to go internationally: the format could just as well work elsewhere in Europe, or in Africa and Asia. ”
