The premiere of new episodes of the reality show "Antimagic" will take place on "CHE!"

The premiere of new episodes of the reality show "Antimagia" with presenter Alexey Pokhabov will take place on the CHE! TV channel. Will a psychic spiritualist be able to distinguish a living person from a dead one? How much do the services of Rasputin's descendant cost? And what can you expect from a meeting with the best magician to remove spoilage? The winner of the show about psychics will tell you how pseudo-esotericists are lying and cheating clients out of millions of rubles.

"A heart—to-heart conversation is a useful psychological practice. But talking to the soul of the deceased is a favorite method of profit among obscurantists. Scammers brazenly and skillfully play on people's feelings," says Alexey Pokhabov. — We invited an expert on the afterlife directly into the house with the "deceased" to demonstrate clearly that his gift is an ordinary manipulation. The role of the deceased was played by a secret agent. Will a witch be able to understand that a person is alive and well?"

The theatrical outfit, lighted candles, and mysterious atmosphere are classics of the genre that always work like magic. Why, for example, do obscurantists use the practice of fumigation with herbs?

"Sorcerers use smoke to purify the space from negative energy, evil spirits and other obscurantism," says the presenter. — Actually, there are several logical reasons. First of all, it looks impressive. Secondly, the image of a shaman with a bunch of smoky herbs is quite cinematic and recognizable, which means it does not cause rejection. Thirdly, all this lulls vigilance and distracts attention."

Every second pseudo magician knows how to remove non—existent damage, and the best of them show real magic tricks. So, in one of the episodes, viewers will see an old gypsy trick in which two venomous snakes hatch from two chicken eggs.

The final touch to the enlightenment broadcast will be brought by a ceremony from a descendant of Grigory Rasputin. In any case, the healer Mikhail Rasputin considers himself to be such. As proof, he cites the bone of Gregory himself.
