Alexey Pokhabov became the new host of the reality show "Antimagic" on "CHE!"

On March 3, at 22:00, the third season of the reality show "Antimagic" starts on the CHE! TV channel. In 2 years on the air, the project team managed to remove the veil not only from small—time scammers in the field of magic, but also to uncover entire fraudulent schemes - the centers of "magical education" and "institutes of bioenergetics". In the new season, "CHE!" went even further and invited Alexey Pokhabov, the winner of the 7th "Battle of Psychics", to the role of the host. A popular psychic in the past has completely given up on magic and will now help his "former colleagues" get rid of the hassle.

In the third season, the project continues to fight against charlatans and invites viewers to look at the world of esotericism through the prism of science and common sense. Secret agents of Antimagic disguised as clients will visit esotericists and check if they can see the truth. And the new presenter, who has 17 years of experience in this field, will analyze in detail the actions of psychics immersed in illusions and consider their techniques from the perspective of their own delusions. "My goal is to help viewers understand that some psychics guess things not through magic power, but through an intuitive understanding of human nature and psychology," says Alexey.

In the premiere releases, viewers will encounter the arrogance of scammers.

"The world of esotericism is divided into three categories of people," says Alexey Pokhabov. — Those who believe in it. Those who know they're cheating. And those who accept their mental illness as a gift. In the 40 episodes I've shot, I've identified another category for myself — the so-called populists, who have completed a couple of courses and learned how to make birth charts or Tarot layouts. And they don't even try to delve into the esoteric essence, but they do everything simply because it's popular. I want to direct such people, as well as those who believe in extrasensory perception, towards critical rather than magical thinking."

Each issue of Antimagic is an exciting expose of quack practices and pseudoscientific treatments. At the same time, the project team hopes to find someone who really has magical abilities. In the third season, there was a man who masterfully coped with the task. He told the secret agent real events from his life, striking with the accuracy of his predictions. The agent was so impressed that he began to believe in his power. But did this man succeed in convincing Alexey Pokhabov and the entire team of his gift? The answer is in the new season.

The new season of "Antimagic" starts on March 3 at 22:00 only on "CHE!".
