Mike Shiva died of a serious illness on Friday at the age of 56. This is reported by “Blick” with reference to the fortune teller’s closest environment. The SDA news agency confirmed the report on Saturday. Shiva, who is actually called Michel Wehner, became famous through his shows on Super RTL, Sat 1, U1, and Star TV. Wearing polarized glasses and a headband, he offered his interlocutors parapsychological advice and a glimpse into the future for 4.50 Swiss francs per minute. In 2018 he also participated in the German television format “Promi Big Brother”.
The Basler comes from a family of circuses and lived for years in caravans and caravans. In his biography “I, Mike Shiva,” he wrote that he actually wanted to be a pastor and had nothing to do with spiritual matters. In 2008, NZZ visited him at his apartment in Thun. At the time, he said that when he was 15 years old he hypnotized an entire class at school and then an audience at a youth center. A short time later, radio and television contacted him.
Until his death, Shiva ran a company with 18 consultants. It offered its services through a direct payment line. Cult experts like Hugo Stamm were a thorn in the side of Shiva’s business model. About the SRF program “Kassensturz” said in 2010: “The advisors are not qualified at all. They believe they have supernatural mystical abilities. And with that they presume something that has nothing to do with advice. You massively overestimate yourself. ”Consumer advocates also repeatedly criticized the high prices as a scam.
