Additional investigation from (France 2)
The program Complément d’investigation, broadcast on October 30, 2025 on France 2, ventured into the gray areas of a universe where mysticism and marketing mix. With rigor and a touch of irony, she explores this fascinating world where the quest for meaning, emotional distress and the thirst for illusion coexist throughout the cards.
Between sincere belief and commerce of the soul. Clairvoyance, originally, is an art of interpretation and intuition. But the show reminds us that in the digital age, some have transformed this ancestral art into a profitable spectacle, accessible in one click and priced by the minute.
A spirituality packaged like a premium product, where inner light is sold at market price.
Fiola: the clairvoyant of showoff
It's hard to miss Fiola, a colorful character who shines on TikTok and elsewhere. With her flamboyant prints and her big empty sentences, she embodies boulevard clairvoyance, that of buzz and decor.
A calibrated smile, a background of mystical music, and the magic happens, at least, on the screen. His cards, often drawn faster than they are understood, offer less of a revelation than a stage act. Fiola is a bit like the comedy of clairvoyance, a well-oiled illusion that amuses as much as it questions.
Danaé: the manipulation behind the faith
Another major figure in the report: Danaé, self-proclaimed “witch”, long known to the INAD, before and after the Carla Moreau affair, for her illusory practices.
Its promises of guaranteed results, addressed to people who are often emotionally fragile, border on the staging of an omnipotence that does not exist. The show aptly illustrates this drift: when clairvoyance becomes a tool of control, the words of the practitioner cease to enlighten and begin to confine.
And the actress who thought she was a clairvoyant…
Impossible not to smile or sigh in front of the actress invited to draw cards “for fun”. She laughs, improvises, invents destinies live, under the complicit gaze of the cameras. A light, almost burlesque moment, where clairvoyance becomes a sketch.
We don't talk to cards, we interpret them.
They do not respond, they reveal what intuition perceives. You still have to have something to interpret, beyond the scenario. The irony of fate is that this sequence serves as a mirror: when esotericism becomes theater, it loses its soul and only keeps the special effects.
For an ethics of clairvoyance
The president of INAD recalled: the profession remains immersed in a regulatory desert. No standards, no framework, no real control. Honest and competent clairvoyants find themselves lumped in with makeshift illusionists.
The SPPAD (Professional Union ofPractices of Divinatory Arts), with the support of INAD, strives to obtain official recognition and to promote an ethical charter.
Objective: protect consultants, but also sincere practitioners, from this permanent confusion between gift and spectacle.
A beneficial broadcast, a useful mirror
This Additional investigation not only exposed the abuses: it held up a mirror to a society in search of certainty. A society ready to believe in anything, as long as it reassures.
And faced with this, there are two paths: sincerity or staging. Yes, some “clairvoyants” are abusive. Yes, some “self-proclaimed wizards” are manipulative. But many authentic, discreet, rigorous practitioners continue to practice with listening, respect and humility. They are the ones who must be heard, protected and valued.
It would be good, it would be right, if a minimum of regulation were finally established. Clairvoyance deserves to be supervised, not to restrict it, but to protect it. INAD and SPPAD open the way to a more responsible, more human clairvoyance, where interpretation takes its place in the face of spectacle, and where the truth is better than a promise sold at the minute.
