Isa Bagirov is a famous Russian hypnologist and parapsychologist who became popular after participating in the talk shows "Black and White" and "Detectives vs. Psychics". However, the young man is not going to stop there and continues to try himself in a new role. Since the beginning of 2018, the TV project "Stars under Hypnosis" has started on Channel One, after which the close attention of millions of viewers has been riveted to the personality of Isa Bagirov.

Isa Bagirov's childhood and family

Isa comes from the Azerbaijani capital, the sunny and welcoming city of Baku. The future hypnotist was born on December 19, 1983. It is worth noting that the young man's mother, Galina Bagirova, is a well-known clairvoyant. She participated in one of the seasons of the Psychics project on TNT and was among the top three. It was through the maternal line that psychic abilities were transferred to Ise. The young man has a sister, Leila, who also linked her life with psychology and hypnosis.

Bagirov has two higher educations. According to his first diploma, he is a specialist in international law. But in life Ise still needed a second profession of a certified psychologist.

For a long time in his youth, Isa was fond of Feng Shui and devoted more than 5 years to the study of this practice. Sports also play a special role in the life of a young man. Isa works out in the gym every day and adheres to a healthy lifestyle. With a height of 177 centimeters and a weight of 85 kilograms, Bagirov has an excellent athletic physique and not an ounce of fat.

Participation in television programs

For the first time on TV screens, Isa Bagirova could be seen in the TV show "Black and White" on Channel One. Isa, as part of the "white" team, successfully passed one test after another. Experts and TV viewers watched the magician with interest, and the participants saw him as one of the strongest rivals. Ise managed to reach the final of the project.

In 2016, Bagirov took part in another television project "Psychics versus detectives". Together with other strongest psychics and magicians, he confronted the team of the best detectives in the country for a large monetary award. In each episode of the program, the participants had to solve the most complex and intricate cases. Isa Bagirov, once again, proved that in addition to extrasensory abilities, he has a well-developed intuition, and also has a large store of knowledge in parapsychology.

However, the greatest popularity was brought to the man by the TV show "Stars under Hypnosis", which started in early 2018 on Channel One. The program is hosted by Maxim Galkin, and Isa Bagirov conducts hypnosis sessions over invited Russian stars. The tandem of a sparkling humorist and a talented hypnotist attracts the attention of millions of viewers. It should be noted that despite the fact that Isa introduces guests into a state of trance, all tasks and practical jokes are humorous and harmless.

Personal life of a hypnotist

Isa Bagirov has never been married. Despite his statements about the desire to have a large and friendly family, the man is still spending all his strength on building a career. While participating in the "Black and White" program, feelings flared up between the members of the rival teams Isa Bagirov and Danae Ermolaeva. However, young people prefer to keep their privacy away from prying eyes. Only sometimes on his Instagram page, the hypnotist uploads romantic photos with his beloved.

In addition to participating in various TV shows, Bagirov and his sister work at the Moscow Center for Parapsychology "6 Senses". The specialists of this center, with the help of a special system of psychotechnics and hypnosis, help to overcome resentments, fears and a suppressed psycho-emotional state.

Isa Bagirov is known as a parapsychologist, hypnologist and participant in the Black and White television project, where he demonstrated his mystical abilities to the general public. In 2018, he will reappear on the screen, where in the show "Stars under Hypnosis" he will act as the main hypnotist.

It is not surprising that Bagirov's biography arouses great interest from viewers who liked this young man with a kind soul and good energy.

Family and education

The future psychic was born in 1983 in Baku. His mother, Galina Bagirova, is known in Russia as a clairvoyant and psychic. She took part in the filming of the 8th season of the "Battle of Psychics" program, becoming its finalist. But there is no information about the father. Isa's parents are from Azerbaijan, so it can be argued that he is Azerbaijani by nationality. He also has a sister, Leila. In their family, the gift of clairvoyance and extrasensory abilities passed from generation to generation, so even in childhood he felt these inclinations in himself. After leaving school, the young man studied at the Baku Slavic University (former APIRYAL named after M.F. Akhundov). He received two graduate degrees, becoming a lawyer in international law and a psychologist.

Career development and participation in television projects

Fascinated by feng shui, Bagirov studied this science for five years, and since 2011, together with his mother and sister, he worked at the 6 Senses center, where he taught parapsychology. The psychic helped everyone to see their future, as well as to correct it. Over time, he began to feel the power of hypnosis in himself, and then he learned to put people into a trance. Soon, Isa published a video in which in a matter of minutes he relieved a person of negative emotions and mood.

In 2016 he was invited to take part in the second season of the Black and White project, where he reached the final. After filming the show, the psychic became popular, having received many requests from people who wanted to get to see him. Together with Danae Yermolaeva, he visited Israel, as hundreds of local residents dreamed of meeting with them and getting help. In the same year, Bagirov received a new offer, becoming a participant in a new show - "Psychics vs. Detectives", where two teams fought - psychics and detectives.

In 2018, a scientific and comedy show called "Stars under Hypnosis" will be released on Channel One, in which Maxim Galkin will be the host. Isa will play the role of the main hypnotist, and the participants will be Galina Danilova, Sati Casanova, Roman Budnikov, Timur Rodriguez and other celebrities. During the program, the psychic will introduce the stars into a state of hypnosis, after which they will perform unexpected actions that will cause laughter from the audience.

Personal life

Bagirov's personal life is also interesting to his fans, who want to know if he has a wife and children. He does not advertise his relationship with the girls, however, it is known that during the filming of the project "Black-White", the psychic became close to another participant in the program - Danae Ermolaeva. He helped the girl during the trials, and when she was hit by a car and got into intensive care, he constantly called her mother, worrying about the health of her beloved. Danae at that time had not yet divorced her husband and raised a little daughter with him.

Although Isa is thinking about creating a family, he is in no hurry to take this serious step, preferring to develop his career. The young man goes in for sports, devoting a lot of time to training in the gym. His courageous figure and excellent appearance do not go unnoticed by subscribers who leave admiring comments under the pictures of the psychic.

Almost three decades have passed since the reign of Anatoly Kashpirovsky on television. Now other settings are shown on TV. In February, Channel One launched the Stars Sous Hypnose show, a Russian version of Stars sous hypnose invented in France. The hypnotist, with the help of simple manipulations, paralyzes the will of the celebrities who agreed to this, and makes them do stupidity and savagery. Seemingly harmless thing, but neither viewers nor psychiatrists think so. watched the show together with a psychiatrist and a hypnologist and found out how the authors of the program fool the audience and what it is fraught with.

“Everything that you see on the screen is reality. Under hypnosis, stars lose their will and fulfill the hypnologist's instructions. All participants in our program underwent special tests. They showed an excellent sense of hypnosis and a wonderful sense of humor. Today you will see what they are capable of ”, - the voice-over is intriguing before the hypnotist Isa Bagirov, little-known to the general public, appears on the stage. He himself calls himself a hypnologist. Hypnotists do not like the word "hypnotist", it is fanned by the aura of the show. In such a situation, this definition comes in handy.

A couple of seconds - and the guests allegedly fall into an unconscious state, and then Bagirov inspires them with various attitudes that they regularly perform: the singer turns into a five-year-old boy, the actress goes to an absurd trial, where she defends the interests of the bear who attacked the tower, transforms into a magician, who sawed the girl and can't figure out how to put her back together.

Participants are taught that they are monkeys or movie characters, they have feelings for strangers or they eat sweet cookies, but in fact they eat sour lemons. They forget in a second who they really are, and at the click of the hypnotist entrust the fate to Bagirov.

In one of the episodes, the guests of the studio were convinced that they were facing the president of Russia. It turned out ridiculous and simulated. The participants in the experiment behaved unnaturally, their reaction was very different from the adequate reaction of the average person.

All this casts doubt on the credibility of the show. This is noted by the viewers themselves in the comments under the episodes of "Stars under Hypnosis" on YouTube and in social networks. They are amazed at the producers' imagination that knows no boundaries and beg the federal channel to stop feeding a multimillion audience with fakes that only spoil its image.

But despite hundreds of negative and sometimes downright offensive reviews, the show has high ratings. The second edition of the program turned out to be more popular than the first, which happens infrequently.

Who is Isa Bagirov?

The biography of Isa Bagirov adds doubts about the credibility of the show. He was born in Baku 34 years ago in the family of the clairvoyant Galina Bagirova. Viewers may remember her from the "Battle of the Psychics" in which she participated in 2009. Bagirova's talent extends to other areas as well. She is also known as an actress: she starred in the film Code of Silence 2 and the TV series Drongo.

Bagirova's son received a law degree, then graduated from the Baku Slavic University with a degree in psychology. Isa was fond of parapsychology, became a specialist in feng shui. In 2000, he received Russian citizenship and moved to Russia. Bagirov was engaged in extrasensory perception and hypnosis, thanks to which he got on television. He first appeared on screen in 2016 in Secrets from on. The man put people into hypnosis right on the street.

Then there was a budget version of the "Battle of Psychics" on Channel One, the program "Black and White", where Bagirov reached the final. He deftly passed tests, methodically creating an image of a reader of human thoughts.

His former cooperation with Channel One helped Bagirov to get into "Stars under Hypnosis", the source of "Lenta.ru", who is familiar with the situation around the show, is sure. Unlike Ukrainian producers, who also acquired the right to adapt the show from the French a few years ago, Channel One did not arrange casting, did not look for talents, but immediately focused on a proven version, confirming the guesses that the main thing was a planned action.

Ukrainian TV men turned out to be more proactive and democratic. Applicants for the role of presenter underwent thorough filtering: they were searched for through social networks, then interviewed via Skype, and then paid for tickets to Ukraine for in-person casting. As a result, the Russian version of the farce show has become even larger.

Despite the surrealism of the show, many take it for the truth. "Lenta.ru" asked professionals to explain who believes in such shows, why it is dangerous to popularize hypnosis with a smile on their lips, and an independent hypnologist showed that there is a production in "Stars under Hypnosis" and what looks like the truth.

Is Bagirov's hypnosis a fake?

Obviously, almost everything that happens on the screen is staging. This is a purely humorous program, and the fact that the second episode has overtaken the first in popularity only says that it is such a trash that people did not believe their eyes and decided to check to what bottom this program is still ready to sink.

Look for yourself: Bagirov poked Panayotov in the forehead and said: "Now you will be Waldemar Zaichikov." And he began to call himself Waldemar Zaichikov. He simply said: "Now you will obey me." And he became. It doesn't work that way. This is possible, but only after 30 sessions, and not at one moment.

On the other hand, the heroes of the program are really nervous - not the most comfortable environment, spotlights, spectators, a multimillion audience on the other side of the screen - and you can really work out some techniques with them. If only because for the transmission, most likely, the most controlled people were selected, who, moreover, are intimidated by talk about the "gift" of the hypnotist.

Is it possible to instantly subjugate to your will?

Judge for yourself. There is a criminal world that does not obey any laws: neither moral nor social. Do you really think that if it were so easy to subjugate a person to your will, no one from the criminal world would use this tool? If this were in any way possible, there would be no protection from them.

Do viewers take the action on screen seriously?

I think that ratings for this program are given not by those who believe in it, but by those who were amazed at the level of arrogance and idiocy. It is enough to read the comments under these issues. Almost everyone writes: "Guys, what are you, o ***?"

But there are always 10-20 percent of viewers who can show a negro, say that he is actually white, and they will believe it. About the same number of people do not believe in anything at all. Depending on the level of effort, the number of those who are overly trusting or, conversely, all who deny, may change. If, relatively speaking, Vladimir Putin comes to the program and succumbs to hypnosis, the number of sympathizers will greatly increase. It all depends on the conductor of the idea to the masses. In this case, the producers of the show are trying to convince the audience with the help of second-tier stars.

Bagirov - a charlatan and a swindler?

This man is not seven spans in the forehead. If he were a phenomenon, this would have become clear from childhood. When Roza Kuleshova appeared, everyone immediately understood that this was a phenomenon. This is a girl who supposedly possessed extrasensory abilities. She guessed the cards you were looking at. The number of her correct answers exceeded the statistical significance. If, on average, a person out of 20 attempts can guess five cards (or maybe not guess), that is, 25 percent, then her percentage of guessing was stable at 35. Kuleshova was studied at a mental health center, no one can solve this mystery.

Bagirov doesn't do anything special. In addition, in reality it provides hypnosis services. One appointment costs 30 thousand rubles. And this is a natural scam. He picks up a clientele for himself through the show, and then probably continues to fool people at his reception. Moreover, such people are often approached by desperate people who are ready to give their last money.

Why do stars instantly faint?

From the outside, it seems to you that a person is instantly immersed in an unconscious state. But in fact, work with the participants in the show begins much earlier. The most hypnotizable are selected first. Before demonstratively hypnotizing on the air, the hypnologist works with them for a long time, so in fact the effect is not instantaneous. These are elementary hypnotic inductions, the so-called state of rapport, when a person is ready to follow the hypnotist, taking into account the already established connection.

Can a person really be turned off on click?

You see that the person seems to turn off at a click. In fact, he did not fall asleep and did not lose consciousness: he acquired a position that was comfortable for accepting the suggestion. The rate at which one sinks into this state is called "readiness to accept a suggestion." It is developed gradually.

All the rough work takes place behind the scenes. Before the program, the hypnologist gradually immersed him in this state, looked at what he was capable of. The more immersion practices, the faster the readiness for suggestion. This is a reflex to the commands of the hypnotist, reflexology, nothing else. The readiness state is developed quite easily, it is akin to learning. Another question is how much they are included in the situation.

So everything on the screen is true?

It's no surprise that artistic people are hypnotic. Actors, artists - these are all hysterics with a flexible psyche. They quickly adjust, sometimes not even realizing that they are playing along. A lot of hypnosis is built on the innate mechanism of imitation. Therefore, seeing how one acts with the body, the other can involuntarily imitate. The monkey reflex is triggered, let's call it that. Pop hypnosis is built on this. There can be only a few people involved in the process, and the rest joined the game, not even realizing that they are imitating.
But we must not forget that this is, first of all, a television show. It was not Isa who ruled the ball here, but directors and producers. There shouldn't be any improvisations, since Stars Under Hypnosis is a franchise where deviations from the script are not welcome.

What points to acting and what really happens?

By my estimate, roughly 50 percent of the situations this show actually does take place under hypnosis. The rest is show.

Acting can be recognized, for example, by unchanging pupils or a quick glance. Or you may notice that in a situation where studio guests were taught that they were monkeys, people in trousers were more relaxed than women in short skirts, for example. Simply because they risked being disgraced by being active on stage.

Situation: Natalia Bochkareva woke up after hypnosis in the form of a lawyer who must defend a man in a bear costume who attacked the tower. There is an earpiece in her ear, into which Isa Bagirov dictates commands, and she immediately performs.

Anton MarkovA: I can say with absolute certainty that this is completely staged. It is enough just to follow the movement of the actress's eyes, which move, as in the analysis.

The episode with Putin's arrival on the show, according to Markov, is explained by the “stage effect” when people cannot refuse to play when they have already entered the stage.

So Bagirov is a swindler?

Anyone can be taught hypnotic techniques. Perhaps Isa Bagirov really knows the technique of hypnosis, but he became a hostage to the script. He is neither good nor bad, nothing depends on him in this program.

It may seem strange, but it is not profitable for Ise to host such a show. Participation in such large-scale projects really provokes the flow of new clients. However, firstly, the hypnotist is unable to meet their demand, and secondly, the lion's share of these clients are not quite adequate. This was the case with the "Battle of Psychics", to the participants of which crowds began to burst, half of which had to make an appointment with completely different specialists. This is an extra headache.

Why do other hypnotists dislike Isa Bagirov?

The only thing that I and my colleagues do not like is that Isa positioned himself as a psychic. And this automatically adds a mystical flavor to hypnosis, which contradicts the scientific view of hypnosis. This is a big problem in our country: hypnosis as a science is not perceived here. Although there is nothing wonderful about it. We, hypnologists, would have banned the "Battle of psychics" faster. Mysticism to the masses is a much more dangerous infection.

Isa Bagirov was born in Baku on December 19, 1983 in the family of the famous Russian clairvoyant Galina Bagirova, a participant in the finale of the eighth season of the mystical project "Battle of Psychics" of the TNT TV channel.

Isa's first education a certified lawyer in international law, on the second - a psychologist (graduated from the Baku Slavic University, former APIRYaL named after M.F.Akhundov). In 2000 he received Russian citizenship. Since 2011 he began to work in the field of feng shui, but before starting to practice it, he studied this science for five years. Since 2013, he settled in Moscow, but he mainly works in Israel, helping people get rid of various kinds of addictions and fears.

Together with his sister, Isa began toteach the basics of hypnosis techniques at the "6 senses" center.

Isa Bagirov's television activities

At first, Bagirov filmed videos of his experiments, mostly in order to analyze his own work and hone his skills. His videos appeared on the Internet, the interest of others in the person of Isa gradually grew. He first got on television in 2016. The psychic was invited to shoot the TV program "Secrets of the World with Anna Chapman" to demonstrate in real time the process of immersing a person into hypnosis right on the street. Then Bagirov came to the casting of the First Channel "Black and White" program with the host Andrei Sokolov, a famous actor and director ("Little Vera", "New Year's marriage", "In the summer I prefer a wedding").

As part of the mystical program, Isa, who was competing with another 19 magicians, reached the final. On the project, he began a relationship with Danae Ermolaevafrom the team of "black" magicians. After the show " Black and white”Ise became widely known.

In the fall of 2016, NTV launched a large-scale television project with Alexei Kravchenko as the host of Psychics vs. Detectives, in which real investigators and the best criminologists challenged people with extraordinary abilities.Isa Bagirov also joined the team of psychics. His colleagues were the witch Elena Yasevich, the hereditary sorcerer Roman Fad, the Slavic sorcerer Astart Vard, the fortune teller Aza Petrenko and the military psychic Vitaly Bograd. Participants of the show "Psychics vs. Detectives" fought for a large cash prize of 5 million rubles.

In 2018, Channel One announced the airing of the show "Stars under Hypnosis" with Maxim Galkin as the host. Isa Bagirov acted as the main hypnotist, whose task was to immerse the star participants in the show into a trance. A feature of the project is that the participants themselves do not know exactly when and where they will sink into a hypnotic state. It can happen anywhere - at home, on a walk, in a club, on a taxi ride. The guests of the program are experiencing unexpected metamorphoses, sudden mood changes in front of the audience ...

Isa Bagirov: “What we use during filming is psychotechnics, which allows you to remove internal blocks, to free the human imagination. In such a state, a person can believe in the most incredible things, see what is not, and behave in the most unexpected way. A person can even forget for a while what seemed impossible to forget. "

With regards to the host of the show, Isa did not immerse Maxim Galkin ("Best of All", "Dancing with the Stars", "Maxim Maxim!") Into a state of hypnosis, since he was completely focused on the invited celebrities, devoting a lot of time to studio recording and preparation for filming.

According to Bagirov, there are a number of methods for putting a person into a trance, both loyal and powerful. However, no one has yet been able to hypnotize him. Meanwhile, he continues to master new techniques of hypnosis, since he feels the need to constantly improve. In addition, Isa is sure that you need to rely not on theory, but on practice.

Isa Bagirov's personal life

In his personal life, which Isa prefers not to talk about, he, according to him, does not use his special skills. As for communication with representatives of the opposite sex, Bagirov never had to use hypnosis here in order to win over a girl.

Isa Bagirov: “A woman must remain a woman. She must be able to love, respect her parents. All this is laid down from childhood. I have thoughts about creating a family, but I will not rush. The ability to live and enjoy every day is the most important thing. And the rest will come. "

Isa Bagirov. Was born on December 19, 1983 in Baku. Russian parapsychologist, hypnologist, TV presenter.

Azerbaijani by nationality.

Mother - Galina Bagirova (born June 14, 1958), psychic, clairvoyant-search engine, participant in the final of the 8th season of the show "Battle of Psychics" (entered the top three finalists). She was approached by many people who needed her help in finding their relatives. Her gift of a search engine was used by the police of Azerbaijan and other countries. Galina Bagirova graduated from the acting department of the Institute of Arts in Baku, has been acting in films, in particular, she played in the film "Code of Silence-2" and the TV series "Drongo".

Isa Bagirov's father was much older than his mother, he held a responsible post in Azerbaijan, the family was very wealthy. There are two children in the family - Isa has a sister.

After the death of her husband, Isa's mother abandoned her career as an actress and began to help people, using her gift, which was passed on to her from her grandmother (great-grandmother of Isa) - Maryam, she was a famous fortuneteller and witch in Azerbaijan. Galina began with predictions of the future, then the special services began to turn to her to search for the missing and criminals.

It was from the mother of Ise that the art of parapsychology was passed on, in which he began to practice as a teenager.

Galina Bagirova - mother of Isa Bagirov

After school he was educated as a lawyer of international law at Baku University.

According to Isa, he learns anytime, anywhere. He said: “In relation to the world, I have always been a student, which means that I studied wherever possible (in Russia and abroad). But unfortunately, dozens of schools and "masters" with whom I studied, gave me about ten percent of the theoretical information out of a hundred, which I now have and ZERO practical skills! I have learned a lot in my life, probably because I have always looked at this world not much differently than most of the people around me. "

Since 2011 he has been working in the field of feng shui, but before starting to practice it, he studied this science for five years. Together with her sister, she teaches the basics of hypnosis techniques at the 6 Senses Center.

He developed his own system of psycho-technique, which he called "Mental Correction". According to Isa, with her help, he can relieve a person of any emotional or psychological problem in a short time. In eight cases out of ten, a second session is not required.

According to Isa, much of what he does is quite understandable from a scientific point of view, since many of the natural capabilities of the human brain have not yet been studied, and therefore are considered supernatural. “The conclusion follows from this - the way we perceive this world does not mean anything at all! And he speaks only about the possibilities of our perception! ”- noted the parapsychologist.

He became widely known in 2016 after participating in the second season of the project "Black and White" on Channel One, where he reached the final. On the project, he struck up a relationship with Danae Ermolaeva from the team of black magicians.
