Participant of the Battle of the Mediums exhibited the show and called the prize to reach the final

According to him, he was offered to buy the participation and "maintenance" of the project immediately after the signing of an agreement on the non-disclosure of information. In the fourth season, the cost to reach the final was 450,000 rubles. The psychic suggested that now the amount for the service has probably increased.

The fourth season participant explained that the money invested later was profitable because entering the salon guaranteed good income for the future. He insisted that the organizers of the series had realized all the money that the mediums earn for fans of the series.

The source admitted that all participants are "directed" by the publishers, who have decided to inform them of the information provided by the producers. "I do not pretend to say there have been true mediums in the show throughout its existence, but there are really a lot of people who have nothing to do with perception extrasensory, "he said.

The Battle of Psychics has been on Russian television since 2007. In 2018, 19 seasons of the show were over. The project has been criticized several times for its staged character and prewritten scripts. In 2017, the "Battle of the Psychics" received an anti-award from the Ministry of Education and Science for popularizing pseudoscience. Participants' attempts to go through independent trials and receive the Houdini Award for demonstrating paranormal abilities under the conditions of a properly defined experiment were unsuccessful.
