Surely, there are people in the world who have psychic abilities, but are there as many of them as the participants in the “Battle”? Will real mediums go on television? At first, many people unconditionally believed that the program contained real psychics for a short time and under unusual conditions show stunning results. But then information began to appear on TV and on the Internet exposing this TV show.
It’s easy to notice mistakes with the naked eye even while watching a program - for example, when they cleanse a house of evil spirits or remove the crown of celibacy and they always say after the ceremony that “everything is cleansed, all the evil spirits are gone” or “the crown is removed, you will soon meet your fate.” But it comes new psychic, and everything starts all over again. Another psychic begins to “clean the aura” again. And sometimes he even says that we need to meet later and perform the ceremony. Probably because the “psychics” came here to advertise themselves for their own benefit?
So, real people with real problems turn to the program in the hope of a miracle and that psychics will help them. But what happens next on the TV show? The editors of the television program contact applicants for an interview, during which they extract as much information as possible, including personal, even intimate information. Naive people themselves lay everything out on a silver platter for editors. And this part of the job is obvious when you consider that editors need to evaluate the suitability of a story: no one in TV is going to work blindly, without having a plot plan in place. And this requires collecting information - not every story will fit the format. You can also learn a lot about the life of applicants from their pages on social networks and video blogs, because people sometimes have no idea how much information about themselves they leave on the Internet. But if there is not enough information, editors can interview relatives, friends, neighbors, in general, conduct their own investigation, even study the materials of criminal cases, access to which can be obtained through contacts in the police. And as you know, law enforcement agencies They work very closely with television workers. Based on the information obtained, a script is created that reflects the decision of the editors and director about which psychic to leak what information. To sum it up, the truth is that most of the work is done by editors and writers, not psychics. The task of the latter is to stage a spectacular performance that will impress trusting guests who are waiting for a miracle.

For the sake of ratings and PR, they will resort to any deception
For the creators of the TV show, all this is probably just a means to increase ratings, for psychics - to promote themselves and their services.
Let's look at some evidence that supports this theory. For example, one of the contestants of the TV show, a certain Kaya Solovyova from St. Petersburg (by the way, an ex-participant of “House-2”), who took part in the 5th season of “Battle” as a psychic, posted an expose online, in which she wrote: when she passed two tests, she was offered to pay for further participation in the show. Moreover, two payment options were offered: either get tips for 50 thousand, or pay immediately for first, second or third place. Kaya clarifies that the first place was worth 4 million rubles at that time.
And 22-year-old Dmitry, who participated in the 13th season of “Battle” as a guest, posted online a confession that he told all the information about himself to the editors (in the story with him, clairvoyants had to guess which of the guests was an alcoholic) . Dmitry really had three years ago alcohol addiction, and even medication coding didn’t work. Psychics “felt” all this and told it in front of the cameras. Dmitry, as the main character, was paid 25 thousand rubles for participating in the show, and the rest - non-main characters - 5 thousand each.

The stars reveal secrets
Singer Danko participated in the filming of the 14th season as a guest star and drove his almost brand new Infiniti for testing. Participants needed to feel who the owner of the car was. “Each contestant walked around the car for about an hour and listed their versions of whose car it was: grandmothers, women, men...,” says the singer. - Then they named the occupation, and so on until the necessary set of words was selected. And then the editing was done with cutting, and the result was a full-fledged answer that got right to the point.”

The well-known participant in the show “The Voice,” singer Nargiz, who was a guest at “Battle,” said in one of her television interviews that she regretted getting involved in all this: “I was invited to participate. I played their game. After filming, of course, I sent them three letters. It was a stupid and dishonest scam. These people should stop deceiving other people. I can say for sure that I will no longer take part in such programs, at least in this project.”
By the way, the fact that the program is a staged show - with its own script, thoughtful plot and actors - was recently confirmed on the air of one of the radio stations by the actor and host of seven seasons of the “Battle of Psychics” Mikhail Porechenkov.

“Battle of Psychics” - not a harmless show
But the “Battle of Psychics” program is not as harmless as it seems. Take, for example, the sensational case of Victor Cohen. The 16th season was released with his wife. The most powerful witches from the show agreed that Victor was not to blame, that he did not commit the brutal murder of his ex-girlfriend Galina Kolyadzinskaya, for which he was sentenced to almost 10 years in prison strict regime. In general, psychics told a version that is only the version of Tatyana herself and her convict ex-husband. It subsequently turned out that at the time of filming, Tatyana was already living with another man, whom she soon married after her divorce from Victor. But the psychics didn’t see this, but they prophesied to Victor and Tatyana happy life. And after the TV show aired, two videos with interrogations from the investigator appeared online. In one of them, Victor himself, without pressure, calmly tells how he strangled Galina and how he got rid of the body. And in the second video, Tatyana admits to the investigator that Victor himself told her about Galina’s murder and where he hid the corpse. That is, she knew everything perfectly well, but on the TV show she simply lied. Based on all the evidence of this murder, it is clear that Victor Cohen is indeed guilty and was justly convicted. But thanks to the show, many began to justify the killer, attack his lawyer, sign petitions and demand a review of the case. This is how the program influences people's minds.
We tried to talk about how this program is filmed, and let you, the viewers, draw conclusions.

I rarely turn on the TV. There are only two programs that I have been watching regularly for several years now: KVN and the Battle of Psychics. I’ve been watching the battle since the very first season, and, like many, I’m worried about the question: Is the Battle of Psychics true or staged? Are there actors or real psychics filming there?
I watched the first seasons without any doubt about the reality of what was happening. But then doubts began to appear: is what they show there true? In addition, I periodically came across articles on the Internet claiming that participants in the show were being leaked information. And it’s true: some of the psychics somehow passed the tests suspiciously well.
But how can you check this? Unless you take part in the filming in person. But I would absolutely not want to appear on screen. And not so long ago a funny story happened.
I have a good friend, we’ve been communicating for about 10 years. One day I went to her VKontakte page and started looking at photographs in which she was tagged. And in one of the photos she was taken in the company of... the winner of the Battle of Psychics on TNT! Moreover, the photo was not from filming or casting, but from some cafe, and they looked as if they had known each other for a long time. I will not indicate the name, since this is not my story. Let me just say that this is a young man.
I was stunned. And, of course, I didn’t believe it. I looked at the photo for a long time - I thought, maybe it’s not him, but just very similar? I decided to ask my friend personally.
Me: Natasha, listen, are you with (Name Last Name) in this photo?
She: Well, yes.
I: !!! ??? !!! Come on!
She: What's wrong?
Me: This is the winner of the Battle of Psychics!
She started, excuse me, laughing at me))) She said: “Do you really believe in this? You're just like my mom!" I even felt embarrassed. It turned out that she and this person studied in the same group at personal growth training in St. Petersburg, and then they talked for some time. She often drove him home, since they lived nearby. Her opinion was categorical: he is not a psychic, but simply good psychologist, and the Battle of Psychics is staged.
If before this story the skeptic and the believer were fighting in me, then after it the skepticism increased. But I still watch the Battle of Psychics - simply because it’s interesting.
And also about the intersections of the Battle of Psychics with my life. Either in the first or second season my friend starred in one of the battle tests former colleague . This is a flight attendant who survived the crash of an IL-86 flying from Moscow to St. Petersburg in 2003. Filming took place at the crash site. So, the tests in the program are really real, not staged.
But as for the participants, the question remains open.
As you understand, there is no point in inventing these stories for me. If I wanted to write something, I would come up with something more impressive.
And now I’ll turn off my inner skeptic and write this paragraph)) Still about some participants, I am convinced that they are real psychics, and not actors. At one time I was very shocked by Vladimir Muranov. An amazingly bright person, I would love to talk to him in person. Even through the screen his aura could be felt.
The show “Battle of Psychics” is still a mystery to television viewers. Many fans of the show doubt that real magicians, witches and shamans participate in the “Battle”. Alexander Sheps, a participant in the 14th season of the “Battle of Psychics,” tried to dispel the myth that everything on the show was rigged.
Not everyone believes that a person can have paranormal abilities. According to Alexander Sheps, everything that happens on the set of the program is the real truth. But in order to finally debunk the rumor about staged tests and actors instead of psychics, he cited specific facts that you can’t argue with.
Alexander Sheps admitted that when he was casting for the “Battle of Psychics,” he, like many TV viewers, thought that everything was going strictly according to the script, and that only those who could play their role well would get into the program.
In fact, the show's script is based only on the staging of the tests. And the way psychics behave is pure improvisation. That is why the “Battle of Psychics” does not lose its popularity from year to year.
Another important confirmation that the “Battle” is a real struggle between psychics - the heroes of the program. Alexander Sheps said that psychics investigate real events and communicate with real people who contacted the program for help.
Not every person who has experienced grief will be able to tell the whole country about it; this requires a good reason. Such heroes have already come to the “Battle of Psychics” in season 14. These are relatives of the deceased hockey player Ruslan Salei from the Lokomotiv club, the parents of a tragically deceased boy from Dzerzhinsk, residents of a village near Moscow where an evil spirit lived.
Over all the seasons, a large number of people took part in the “Battle of Psychics” ordinary people who needed the help of psychics. Alexander Sheps believes that the program would not be so interesting if actors participated in it.
As for the psychics themselves, Alexander Sheps told one thing about this interesting thing. As it turned out, a large number of people come to the casting who claim to have paranormal abilities. But only a few pass all the tests in the qualifying round. According to Sheps, of the 12 psychics, only half successfully passed the qualifying round. Since the organizers needed to recruit a certain number of participants, they had to invite to the “Battle” those who more or less coped with the tasks at the casting. Alexander Sheps did not disclose the names of those of his rivals who got onto the show not on merit. But, as he claims, in the 14th season of "Battle" there are those who really have the right to call themselves psychics.
It is worth saying that after six years of broadcasting, “Battle of Psychics” is still popular on Russian television and is one of the most rated programs. For all this time, there was not a single piece of evidence that this show was a production. Psychics who have proven their paranormal abilities in the program still help people and actively develop their gift further. If you are interested in other secrets of the program, put and
In the 10 years since “Battle of Psychics” has been published, 17 seasons have already been filmed. Each of them had their own stars. Having become famous, former members battles earn a lot of money. One hour of their work costs an average of 15-40 thousand rubles.
The flow of magicians and witches does not dry out from season to season. Whatever the participant, the second Vanga and Nostradamus. And the audience is still haunted by the question: “Battle of Psychics” – true or a lie?
The former host of the show, Mikhail Porechenkov, added fuel to the fire.
“I worked with them for a long time. Kaldy-baldy, as they used to say in childhood. It’s all lies!” - Mikhail arranged an expose of the “Battle of Psychics” on the air of “Our Radio”.
Of course, I want to believe in a miracle, but how can one not accept as truth the words of the man who hosted the show from the 1st to the 7th season. Porechenkov told what the “Battle of Psychics” really is.
“At first it was very interesting to work. We really believed,” Mikhail admitted to Komsomolskaya Pravda. - And then we understood the technology of work. There are people who give advice, who enter into contracts with them in advance. And when I realized that this was bringing money to someone, I left there. There were moments when the participants understood something. Although none of the psychics passed the test with which I came to them.”
How magicians work outside of the show
People talked about the fact that psychics pay for tips on forums back in 2009:
“One of the participants in one of the battles is the sister of my friend. It's all true, not staged, not a show. But there are those who pay, and they are pulled in and give the correct answers to the questions asked.”
“I know a psychic from the very first battle. The tasks are real, but the winners are really pushed and paid for.”
Someone tested the strength of the former battle participants on themselves.
“I went to an appointment with Zulia Radjabov (the winner of the 2nd season - Ed.), writes Alina. - I almost burst into tears with frustration because everything was gone! And about me and about my family. I gave 95 thousand.”
However, not everyone criticizes psychics.
“I visited Natalya Vorotnikova (the winner of the 1st season - Ed.), writes a user under the nickname Van. - He doesn’t talk about the past, mostly about the future. At first I thought it was nonsense, but four years later almost everything came true. And she said it herself, didn’t ask anything.”
Needless to say, the show participants disliked Porechenkov for exposing the “Battle of Psychics.” But there were also those who supported the leader.
“I partially agree with Mikhail,” season 6 finalist Ziradin Rzaev admitted to KP. “I saw the participants talking to a phantom, showing karate techniques... These people are just playing - this is a 99.9% show.”
Singer Danko: “The whole show is a montage”
“Battle of psychics” - true or false? Singer Danko has a clear opinion on this matter. He once had an affair with Julia Wang, the winner of the 15th season, and even participated in the program himself.
Wang did not demonstrate her psychic abilities in any way. An ordinary glamorous party girl, of which there are thousands,” the singer told Express Newspaper. - I took part in the filming of “The Battle of Psychics” and saw with my own eyes how it’s done. Clairvoyants are given a task. Each one is filmed within an hour. And during this hour he says everything possible options answers. From the footage, editors select appropriate answers and tailor the entire story to fit them. The editors know in advance who will win.
Ekaterina Gordon: “There are two or three talents for the whole project”
The exposure of the “Battle of Psychics” was also organized by TV presenter Katya Gordon.
“I personally know some of the newly-minted wizards produced by the program as clairvoyant geniuses,” she wrote in her . - Julia Wang practiced erotic exorcism in nightclubs and exorcising demons with perhydrol (personally, she dyed my hair)... My colleagues working on the project, in a private conversation, do not even hide the fact that miracles do not happen there, this is a production and a show. Of course, during the era when the project was created there were talented and sensitive people, but there were only two or three of them. The rest is photographs and actors from burnt theaters.”
Alena Vodonaeva: “Psychics have powerful energy”
But Alena Vodonaeva, who happened to be “Mr. X” at the battle, has a completely different opinion about the show. The TV presenter assures: nothing is set up, everything is for real.
“When I returned from filming the program, I started bleeding at the same time... I think that those thirteen people who took part in the test affected me with their energy,” Vodonaeva admitted to StarHit.
Another guest of the program, actress Nastasya Samburskaya, was also shocked by the abilities of psychics. Some participants told details of her life that the girl carefully hid: about her brother, about her difficult childhood and difficult relationship with her mother.
Marat Basharov: “Draw your own conclusions”
The host of the show, Marat Basharov, also defends the skill of psychics.
“If you think that the tears of the people who are in the frame, tears of joy or grief, are all staged, everything is played, then very good actors. In fact, at 42 years old, I have learned to distinguish people’s genuine joy, regret or grief from fake ones. If someone thinks that this is not true, let him think so,” Basharov responded to Porechenkov’s accusations in an interview with NSN.
Marat admitted: he was already tired of answering questions: “The battle of psychics - true or false?” The presenter encourages you not to listen to anyone and draw your own conclusions.
Actress Vera Sotnikova is also familiar with the behind-the-scenes life of the show.
“Sometimes miracles happen on our program, after which I can’t recover for a long time,” Vera told the host of the program “ Perfect renovation“. - When a psychic identifies a situation and tells some truth that no one has ever known, it is impossible not to believe it, because it cannot be played like that. I will say this: everyone will be given according to their faith.”
Sergei Safronov: “I felt like they were getting into my head”
Over the years of participation in the show, the illusionist remains skeptical of psychics. Safronov is sure that most magicians are simply good psychologists.
“But, I admit, in 2010 I felt like they were getting into my head,” Safronov told StarHit. - It was Liliya Khegai during a test with hockey player Alexander Kharlamov. Psychics had to find the place of his father's death and tell him who he was. Lilya kept talking about some kind of stick, I asked her to draw it. I blacked out for a few seconds, and she wrote the letter “G” on the paper. At the site of the accident there is a monument - just a stick and a puck.”
In general, Safronov admits, viewers no longer care whether the truth is shown or not.
“People watch a mystery detective story based on real events“, says the eternal skeptic, but immediately assures that all the stories of the program, all its heroes are real people.
“There is no script!” - says the illusionist.
The sorcerers responded to Mikhail Porechenkov.
The reality show “Battle of Psychics” is at the epicenter of a scandal. The country is figuring out what kind of project this is? A huge scam or a unique experiment? Testing phenomenal abilities or the degree of gullibility of naive spectators?
Mikhail Porechenkov, who was at the origins of the creation of the “Battle of Psychics,” did not seem to be going to loudly expose anyone. I just said a couple of phrases on the radio about a project that I haven’t been working on for a long time. And he caused a real storm!
I worked with them for a long time. Kaldy-baldy, as they used to say in childhood. All lies! Yes, completely. I'm telling the truth. Have I upset everyone? - the actor asked the audience.
It turned out that I was so upset! Moreover, both the audience and the psychics themselves. And those who firmly believe in sorcerers and witches, rituals and shamanic dances, and those who believe that they themselves have a unique gift, immediately took up arms against the former presenter. He was accused of using the name of a program whose ratings were off the charts to do self-PR.
The profession of a psychic - under different names - is clearly older than the profession of an actor. Personally, speaking at the “Battle,” I did not doubt for a minute the superpowers of my main rivals,” the white witch was indignant. - The spotlights go out - and it begins usual life, that is, clients with their problems. So the title of psychic has to be justified every day! But for actors it is always important to attract the attention of the public. In different ways. And just like Mikhail.
But there were also those who rejoiced: finally a man was found who brought the charlatans who were fooling honest people to clean water! By social networks there was even a call to close the “Battle of Psychics”, and to outlaw the “wizards” themselves!
DISCLOSURE OF PARTICIPANTS
However, it was not Porechenkov who began to discredit “Battle”. Reality show on TNT channel it's already underway 10 years. And all these years there are skeptics who claim: in fact, there is no miracle. All this is a staged show, played out according to the script. And not only amateurs - among the participants there are also professional artists.
The soothsayer Julia Wang, for example, graduated from acting courses at GITIS and was not famous for any special abilities before appearing on the show. She, then still Yulia Gavrikova, was busy with her film career: she starred in episodes of “Day Watch”, “The Most best film", flashed in the series "Balzac's age, or All men are theirs...”. Well, when she came to the “Battle”, she quickly changed her biography and began to say that she was born from an alien.
But the shaman Ekaterina Ryzhikova - the one who looks more like a city madwoman - is actually a teacher at a children's film studio and the head of a theatrical art laboratory at the Stas Namin Theater.
Many other participants in the “Battle” also appeared in the acting field. On the Internet you can find dozens of sites where critics from the people dismantle the show literally to its bones and expose the participants.
They notice foreign objects in the frame, telling the sorcerers where the person is hiding. They find fraud in the program. Let's say here gravestone from afar, the date of death is visible on it. Change of frame - and now it’s a completely different year. One that fits into the concept of the story that “everyone in this family died within 12 years of each other”...
Viewers also found a girl who in one of the seasons was seen in a photograph allegedly “dead.” The beauty is alive and well, shining in the crowds of other TV shows.
All these blatant blunders in the program convince viewers that “Battle” is just a performance. And sometimes it is whipped up...
“I myself haven’t believed in “Battle” for a long time,” says clairvoyant Ziraddin Rzayev, finalist of the sixth season. - I am critical of last years. If at first it was a competition of professionals, now it is just a show. Participants know how to surprise by talking about the past. But that doesn't mean anything. Let them predict the future better, and it will be recorded by several media outlets. If it comes true, then the person is really worth something.
“NEGOTS ARE NOT ENOUGH FOR ALL SEASONS”
But the participants in the “Battle,” as it turns out, not only cannot predict someone else’s future, they also cannot see their own. That's why they constantly get into all sorts of troubles and shameful situations. 
For example, the clairvoyant Irik Sadykov, having learned that they were looking for the missing Ilyin family in the Moscow region, offered his services in finding the parents and child. Arriving at the scene, he said: no, they didn’t drown, they were alive - they were kidnapped. He spoke loudly and poured out details. And literally half an hour later, divers lifted the bodies of the drowned from the bottom...
The high-profile PR that Irik was counting on did not work out.
After participating in the “Battle,” the price tag for the services of sorcerers and magicians grows by leaps and bounds: the cost of admission starts from 20 thousand and often exceeds a hundred. People in trouble bring the last of their money to change their fate, to receive hope or news about loved ones.
Alexey Druzhkov from Kurgan, as he himself says, is a sorceress Ilona Novoselova 
for 30 thousand rubles she convinced him that his brother was alive and working at a construction site. Soon the man’s body was found; it turned out that he had been killed several months ago. “She's a fraud! He’s profiting from people’s grief!” - the deceived viewer cannot come to his senses.
You must understand that there are not so many unique specialists, nuggets in the country, there cannot be enough of them for all seasons, so all participants cannot be called professionals, explains psychic parapsychologist Daria Mironova. - In the first season, when I participated, everything was fair.
And now I assume that the “Battle of Psychics” has turned into purely 
commercial program.
All project participants are bound by a non-disclosure agreement regarding the terms of participation in the show. But their loved ones often spill the beans.
“I myself witnessed the drain,” says ex-girlfriend"black doctor" Evgeniy Znagovan. - They sent him an email in advance Full description next test, all the information about those people who will come with their problem, facts about their lives. So that on the set he would amaze everyone with something that no one knew.
HOW MUCH DOES VICTORY COST?
Kursk astrologer Pavsekakiy Bogdanov assures: everything was bought in the show “Battle of Psychics”. If you want to go to the next stage, pay. Need a win? Give me 100 thousand dollars and call yourself the best.
All participants are scammers! - Bogdanov declares loudly. “Then people sell the latter in order to get an appointment with them, but these charlatans cannot help. Why weren’t I, Dzhuna, Chumak, Kashpirovsky invited to the program - us, who through our hard work earned the right to be called a psychic? Back in 2007, when the “Battle of Psychics” began, I wrote open letter TNT management with a call: “Stop the fuss of clowns!”
Former participants also tried to ban the program - those who lacked either money or the ability to make it to the finals. Yolanta Voronova filed a lawsuit against TNT last fall. 
I want to stop deceiving people who go to the winners of the “Battle of Psychics” for huge money. These favorites work according to the script. They are not psychics, but actors! Let them write in the credits: the role of Pakhom was played by Sergei Pakhomov! - she is indignant.
“THERE IS NO SCRIPT!”
But Ilya Sagliani, who was an independent expert on several programs, believes that everyone cannot be sized up with the same brush. They come to the casting of the project different people- one goes just to promote himself, the other - 
try your hand, and the third - show your unique abilities.
“All the characters and their stories in the program are real,” he assures. - And there is no script! Whatever result the psychic gave was the one that went on the air. Of course, there are those on the show who became “psychics” five minutes before coming to the “Battle”. But many specialists amazed me with their gift - Kazhetta, for example, or Nicole. They helped me with advice and predicted the future. Ziraddin Rzayev, for example, once said that I would work on television and buy a blue car. Three years have passed, I have already forgotten his words. But everything came true! And my car is blue!
Ilya, like Marat Basharov, who has been running the program for the last seven years, was surprised by Porechenkov’s words that “everything is a lie.” He believes that, perhaps, Mikhail is expressing some kind of personal resentment towards the creators of the project. Iranian psychic Mehdi Ibrahimi Vafa, winner of the third season of “Battle,” agrees with him:
I note that Mikhail Porechenkov once asked me to help his close friend, 
who was depressed. If he thought I was a charlatan, would he do it?
Meanwhile, more than 200 people have already gathered for the casting of the new season of “Battle”, who also call themselves psychics. And, probably, there is a possibility that among them there will be at least one real one. Or maybe the only real magicians on the program are those who create this show? Editors and directors who can make anyone, even the most random participant, a star?..
ANOTHER OPINION
Vlad Kadoni: It turns out that Porechenkov is a liar?
The host of “House-2” Vlad Kadoni could not ignore the controversy that flared up around “Battle”. After all, he himself is for the title the strongest psychic fought twice in the country and knows the entire “kitchen” of the TV show from the inside.
Vlad, how do you feel about Porechenkov’s recent words that the “Battle of Psychics” is “a bullshit, a lie”?
- It seems to me that it turned out that Mikhail set himself up. After all, whatever one may say, these words are against himself. Let's assume that "Battle" is a show with actors. Then it turns out that Porechenkov himself is a liar, who for three years, working as the host of this project, led everyone by the nose - he convinced viewers that psychics were real, although he himself knew that this was not the case.
Then how did he look into the eyes of those who came to the site with their pain for help - the mothers of killed and missing children, the relatives of those to whom misfortune happened? It turns out that he knew that the participants in the “Battle of Psychics” were charlatans and the entire program was a cruel setup, and together with everyone else, he fooled everyone for seven seasons for a good salary?
- But, they say, Porechenkov had a non-disclosure agreement - he could not immediately tell the truth.
There is no criminal liability for disclosing the secret of the creation of a program. You cannot go to jail - you only face a fine. Why didn’t he declare at the very first filming that he would not participate in this and leave, slamming the door? That's why clever man will understand that he simply decided to lie, playing on a provocative topic. All this is cheap PR.
They forgot about Mikhail a little, and he decided to create an information occasion. In my opinion, very unfortunate. And he has already had such mistakes - everyone remembers the huge scandal he created against the backdrop of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, when he was photographed with a weapon in his hands in Donetsk.
Stas Sadalsky “looked” into the future in his blog: “Vlad Kadoni was detained. I had with me photographs of Mikhail Porechenkov, as well as a small human figure with a needle stuck into it.” It's clear that this is a joke. But tell me honestly: should we really be afraid of magicians and psychics? Shouldn't they cross the road?
You should be afraid of stupid people. You can always come to an agreement with smart and adequate people. I don’t know what needs to happen to me for me to really be puzzled by the damage to someone’s life. When I was young, I used to scare people with this. But those were more teenage frustrations. Unfortunately, you only understand the value of life over the years...
“I DON’T WANT TO IMPOSE MYSELF ON SOCIETY”
- You returned to Dom-2 as a presenter. Do magical techniques help on the project?
I left extrasensory perception and esotericism at the gates and fundamentally do not use any of my abilities. This would be dishonest to the audience: they must understand what is happening on the project, and for this the participants themselves, and not psychics, must speak. And in general, I use my abilities exclusively for myself and my loved ones and do not demonstrate them to anyone else.
- So you ended your career as a magician?
No, but now I don’t accept other people. I'm tired of struggling with hopeless stupidity. You open the Internet and read: “He’s not a psychic - he’s on Dom-2,” “That’s not what psychics look like” - and so on.
I don’t want to impose myself on society. It was brought up by Hollywood films and primitive laws of marketing. Now I'm more into traditional science. He worked in the field of psychiatry for about two years, closed center. Now I’m gaining a different experience at Dom-2.
You probably regularly review your future? Are you dealing with difficulties along the way and attracting the necessary events?
I never do this. And to mom (witch Elena Golunova. - Red .), who is engaged in practice, I will never allow this to happen. I want to go through all my difficulties myself, without magical help. If, for example, I run to my mother for help, I will not learn to solve the problem on my own, which means I will become dependent on her gift - I will not take an extra step without her advice and will be doomed to receive constant nourishment.
- What about those people who go to psychics? Are they doomed too? 
Not always. A person who cannot cope on his own needs to go to someone stronger. It’s like when you’re sick, it’s better to go to the doctor and not self-medicate. But if you are a doctor yourself and your mother is a doctor, then you don’t need to ask her for a prescription every minute.
"I'LL BE A CRAZY DADDY"
- Vlad, is there any way to have magical support without turning to psychics?
With my colleagues the best psychics countries, we have created a subtle thing from an esoteric point of view - magic in perfumery. Psychics charge special substances for money, for marriage, for good luck - and they are used to create fragrances. Two famous politicians and several show business stars already have such perfumes.
- So you started this kind of business?
Yes, and not only that. I also opened a beauty salon. I brought together masters - make-up artists and hairdressers - who work with stars, with public people, and know how to create a holistic image.
With Anna Devitskaya, former producer“Battle of Psychics”, have you been together for six years? Why haven't you gotten married yet?
I proposed to her once - she refused. We didn’t communicate for almost six months after that. Now, perhaps, Anya would answer differently, but I do not want to repeat myself.
-Are you not planning on having children?
It’s too early for me to dream about them, I’m not ready. I won't be much of a teacher. Children give me a fit of emotion. And if I have a child now, I will simply torture him with my care. I will turn into a crazy dad who is not able to grow a full-fledged personality. So let's wait until I'm ready...
