For the rest of this turn:
When you play a card, place it face down. You may name a different card and play as if you had played the card you named.

If it is not the card you named, remove it from play, and the challenging player gains your card. If you had not yet begun to play the card that was removed form play, it does not count as having been played.
If you perform actions contrary to the actual text of the cards allegedly in play, and anyone calls you out on it, immediately proceed to the Cleanup phase of your turn.

Action - $3
+1 Action
+1 VP
Gain 2 gold to your hand
Instead of normal cleanup: only discard played actions and spent treasures from this turn; draw until you have 5 cards in hand. Take an extra turn after this one. The player to your left can see all cards you can, and makes all decisions for you. Any cards you would gain on that turn, he gains instead; any cards of yours that are trashed are set aside and returned to your discard pile at end of turn.
This concept actually sounds quite interesting..
I agree, wrt to the cleanup penalty. Forcing a possession on yourself is interesting too, though I think the former is more interesting.
I thought of the forced possession first (I was inspired by reading Simon Says, above) simply as 'what is the opposite of the Possession card?' followed by 'what would motivate a player to let himself be possessed?'. The name followed logically from that, and then I added the cleanup penalty as a way to shake things up a bit. Sometimes it makes things worse, and sometimes it lets you blunt the possession by leaving behind your junk cards. Hmm, maybe I should make it discard Victory-only cards too? Actually I'd originally written it as "Don't discard unplayed actions or unspent treasure", then I rephrased it and forgot that I was letting you pass along the junk. Not really sure which way would be 'better'.
[edit] But the cleanup penalty on its own (in some other context without the possession) is definitely worse when you can't discard unplayable cards.
Anyhow it might be fun to actually try out this card and see what happens. Actually to make it even more properly bad I'd need to change it to "Instead of normal cleanup: do not discard unplayed actions and incompletely spent treasures from this turn;"
That way if you had no treasure, played Courtesan, and then bought something worth $5 your possessor still gets one of your gold.
