Yuri Longo is a “white sorcerer.” Secrets of Yuri Longo Magician Longo

Undoubtedly, he is an outstanding personality, since he managed to take advantage of the unhealthy interest of rich ordinary people in everything mysterious and “schizoteric”, putting him at the service of his name and wallet.

He called himself a white magician, although I would call him a professional “showman”, a master of PR. Take, for example, that memorable trick with resurrecting a dead man in a morgue, levitating in front of a video camera, or the statement that he revived Ukrainian President Yushchenko. Loud, scandalous, spectacular. And it doesn’t matter that there were no levitations, the living dead or other miracles, but who would dare deny that those numerous titles and regalia that he awarded himself did not have the most magical effect on women suffering from “love magic”.

It goes without saying that the death of such a famous and terribly mysterious person simply could not help but generate the most incredible rumors. Agree, it is not appropriate for a white magician and healer to die from some kind of “aortic aneurysm,” although death from the evil eye or an “energy strike” can hardly be considered more attractive for the reputation of an almost omnipotent magician.

And here’s another miracle that surprised me. It was reported that before Longo's funeral, a funeral service was held in the church. Since when did our church begin to perform funeral services for people related to the occult, and besides, according to reports, Longo was not even baptized. However, money is now capable of creating even less bizarre miracles... In a word, gentlemen, the show must go on!!! Yuri Longo was buried at the Vostryakovsky cemetery (6th school).

How to find a grave

The main entrance to the cemetery (where the cemetery office is). Go straight along the central alley all the time, in fact to the very end of the cemetery, there you will see a vacant lot that is being prepared for new burials, it is to the right of the road, just like section 6. Follow the path to bypass section 6. That is, there will be a vacant lot on your left, and plot 6 on your right.

As of June 23, 2007, Longo’s grave has been erased among the graves that appeared later, because section 6 is expanding. To find it you need to make some effort, combing the paths between the rows of graves. I can only say that Longo’s grave is located on the border of the old wooded area 6. The grave itself is a very funny sight. “Schizoterically”-minded people decorate it with strange objects, for example, an antique iron, children’s sandals, on the grave mound there is a baby bootie, some kind of ceramic figurines, a medicine package. I had an assumption that all these items were brought by ladies who believed that the “great magician” would help them get pregnant. But in reality, I don’t know.

People who have ever seen Yuri Longo admired his activities and charisma. Appearance The sorcerer conquered many women, and often caused fear among men. Longo's image was also quite unusual and provocative - he wore a black robe and bulky chains on his chest.

During the rituals, Yuri used various incense, which were rare in those days. The sorcerer became famous for hypnosis, telepathy, clairvoyance and telekinesis and for his enchanting shows, which were regularly shown on television channels.

He claimed that he revives the dead and communicates with people who have passed on to another world. True, the sorcerer later admitted to reporters that all this was nothing more than a skillful game, and not a real miracle. But in the 90s, huge queues lined up outside Longo’s house. People who wanted to come to his reception believed in a miracle.

Who was he? Some believed that Yuri still had a gift. Skeptics, in turn, assured naive people that he was an artist and all his actions were fake. And this is not surprising, because Yuri studied at an art school and worked in a theater studio. In addition, he had a degree in psychology.

Conqueror of women's hearts!

All activities of Yuri Longo were accompanied by scandals. When it became known that all the “living dead” were a hoax, people stopped believing him. And he began to conquer women's hearts. Journalists circulated rumors that the ex-sorcerer had a huge number of mistresses. And the sorcerer himself did not deny these rumors.

There is an opinion that Yuri's death occurred as a result of numerous love affairs. But actually last years Longo spent his life with his beloved wife Elena. Although in public Longo tried to show women all kinds of attention, because for him it was effective method attracting clients.

Magic or fatal accident?

Yuri Longo had neither serious illnesses nor bad habits. He died in the prime of his life - at the age of 56. Many said that this was a punishment for sinful practice of magic, and some assured that it was to blame for a series of troubles and scandals in which he became a participant.

The first of them was associated with Grigory Grabov. This man also positioned himself as a magician, because he claimed that he would be able to resurrect the children who died in Beslan. Longo did not believe Gregory's words, as a result of which he called him a cynic and a liar. Yuri's death occurred at the very height of this scandal. Some journalists claimed that it was Grabov who brought damage to the sorcerer and conqueror of women's hearts.

The reason for the second huge scandal was Longo's assertion that Viktor Yushchenko died after dioxin poisoning, and the Orange Revolution in Ukraine was led by a double. There were rumors that these statements by the sorcerer did not go unnoticed by the Ukrainian special services.

Real cause of death

In fact, Yuri Longo suffered a heart attack in 2006. He was admitted to the hospital. The sorcerer, unfortunately, left the institution because he felt better.

After some time, Yuri’s health deteriorated again. He did not go to the hospital, but called his best friend Nikas Safronov. A day later, Longo died. The cause of death was an aortic aneurysm. The famous magician and wizard was buried in Moscow at the Vostryakovsky cemetery.

Despite a large number of versions about Longo's death, the real reason turned out to be simple and banal - Yuri refused the services of doctors. If he had stayed in medical institution and completed the entire course of treatment, the likelihood fatal outcome would be kept to a minimum.

The activities of the famous Russian sorcerer Yuri Longo ( real name- Golovko) is assessed differently. People who believe in his paranormal abilities talk with admiration about unusual miracles, which included clairvoyance, telepathy, telekinesis and pyrokinesis. The more prosaically inclined part of the public considered Longo to be a dexterous and skilled magician who knew a lot of technical secrets of lighting grass using a hidden electric stove, levitation and moving objects using special devices, “revitalizing” corpses by twitching invisible nylon threads. Witnesses talk about the period of Yuri's life when he worked as an illusionist in the circus and claim that the sorcerer was helped in demonstrating tricks by close people: assistants, friends and Yuri Longo's wife.

There are some doubts about which of the psychic's wives could be his faithful assistant. Longo was married three times, not counting extramarital affairs. His first wife turned out to be a certain Oksana from Balashikha, whose surname remained unknown in history. He and the 30-year-old youthful beauty, a physicist, met in Adler and lived only a short time. When this marriage failed, Yuri, a couple of years later, met Lyudmila Nikitina, a bank employee who quit her job in order to always be with her nomadic husband. In this marriage, a daughter, Julia, was born in 1982. It should be noted that he was short and not at all like Adonis, but the Sorcerer had a certain charm and was a lover and pleaser of women, especially those with Rubensian forms.

Longo also broke up with Lyudmila, despite the fact that, according to him, it was a happy union and he loved his second wife. She left her husband for his friend, as he complained, and took her daughter with her. In 1995, Yuri married his long-time girlfriend, an appetizing blonde from Vladikavkaz, Anelina (for those close to her, Elena) Semenenko, who was 20 years younger than him. This short marriage caused the soft-bodied magician with the ladies a lot of trouble. Elena had a passion for alcoholic drinks and was violent when drunk. As witnesses say, she hid a lot of vices: in addition to her willingness to pose for frivolous “bath” photographs with her husband and friend, Elena was a selfish, calculating and cunning person. Shortly before his death, the sorcerer divorced her and consoled himself in the arms of his secretary, Anna Mikhailova, who idolized him.

However, after the death of the famous magician from heart attack in the winter of 2006, ex-wife Yuria Longo managed to inherit his entire considerable fortune, estimated at 1.5 million dollars, leaving his daughter Yulia without a penny. Now Elena continues to “celebrate” her lucrative loss of her husband, hardly appearing in public, and does not remember the receipt given to him on her wedding day not to lay claim to her husband’s property. “When I die, my daughter will be rich. She will get everything,” Longo once dreamed, adoring his Julia. Now she lives in a small apartment with her husband, mother-in-law and two children. Anna Mikhailova is trying to support her.

Magician and charlatan?

“White Sorcerer” Yuri Longo was remembered by everyone who saw the show with his participation, the hypnotic gaze of his dark deep eyes, his white homespun robe and the chains on his hands.

As if nothing had happened, he walked on water, flew through the air and revived the dead, but at the same time did not miss the opportunity to ridicule sorcerers and psychics, as well as their gullible patients.

About a year before his death, Yuri Longo turned to one of the priests with a request for baptism. This was denied to him. Why did the “white sorcerer,” as he called himself, decide to give up witchcraft? Maybe he was afraid of something and hoped that the church would protect him? Was the priest right who refused to help him, even if Longo was a notorious sinner? And was Yuri Longo really who he said he was?

Meeting on the train Moscow - Tynda

Yuri Andreevich Golovko (Longo is his stage name) was born on September 23 1950 year in the village of Nezamaevskaya Krasnodar region. After leaving school, he studied at a technical school (according to other sources, at an art school), but did not graduate and for a long time worked as a conductor and waiter in the dining car on long-distance trains. IN 1979 year, on the Moscow-Tynda train, Yuri met magician Lev Korneev, who sold him props for tricks and placed a capable student in the Moscow Regional Philharmonic. Having mastered simple tricks with handkerchiefs, ribbons and balls, Yuri Golovko, as part of a concert crew, began to tour throughout the country. At the same time, he took a sonorous pseudonym in honor of the legendary magician of the early 20th century, Dmitry Longo, who was called “the last fakir” - he walked barefoot on the blades of Turkish sabers, danced on hot coals, bit off a piece of a red-hot iron plate with his teeth and drank molten tin. Not forgetting, of course, to first put a special container in your mouth.

Yuri Golovko-Longo gained wide popularity in the early 90s, after he was shown on television levitating - rising above the ground, overcoming gravity. TV viewers were stunned. They knew that Indian yogis were capable of this, but did not suspect that in the country there was a “white sorcerer,” as Longo began to call himself, capable of lifting himself off the ground a full meter. TV viewers had no idea that Yuri Longo was actually sitting at the end of an ordinary metal pipe, which was moved behind a screen by his assistants. It is interesting that the filming was completed only the fifth time - the “sorcerer” could not stay on the pipe. TV viewers experienced even greater delight when Yuri Longo walked on the surface of the Ostankino pond as if on dry land. They had no idea that there was a deck under the water. The “sorcerer” also demonstrated other miracles: for example, he lit the grass with the energy of his hands - a simple electric stove was first covered with dry grass and leaves, and while Longo moved his hands over the grass with an ominous look, his assistant inserted a plug into the electrical outlet. And a miracle happened - the grass really caught fire. The people, observing these miracles, were once again convinced that the communists, instilling materialistic teachings, hid from them the innermost secrets of witchcraft and magic.

But the most shocking video was taken in the morgue. On the table lay the unclaimed corpse of a forty-year-old man who had died three days ago. After Yuri Longo’s manipulations, the deceased’s left arm began to move. The body covered with a sheet, obeying the movements of the psychic’s hands, began to rise. The nurse present at this scene fainted. Later it turned out that many television viewers followed her example. It soon became known that the roles of the “revived corpse” and the “fainted nurse” were talentedly played by Yuri Longo’s assistants, but the job was done - the “sorcerer” gained truly national fame.

In his interview, Longo indignantly rejected accusations that the scene in the morgue was falsified, proposing to repeat the experiment with the revival of the dead man now, and to hold the session not just anywhere, but in the mausoleum on Red Square. The move was a win-win - no one, of course, was allowed into the mausoleum of Yuri Longo and the television crew, and the population, stunned by perestroika and glasnost, unanimously decided that the “sorcerer” who had lifted the veil of a hidden secret would be persecuted and falsely accused.

Later this was confirmed. IN 1997 year, yielding to the persistent requests of his admirers, Longo published two books in mass circulation: “ Practical magic" And " Love magic" It immediately became clear that he had ripped almost word for word a book by another author, published in 1991 year. There was even a trial on this matter, which sentenced the “sorcerer” to two years probation, not counting compensation to the author for moral damage. Longo was sincerely surprised and discouraged - he naively believed that those conspiracies and manipulations that he carefully rewrote had come down to us from the depths of centuries. But it turned out that this was just a figment of the unhealthy imagination of some lady with the suspicious surname Samofalova.

To the credit of Yuri Longo, it must be said that after the trial he diligently studied all the occult literature, and he had the opportunity to experimentally test the recipes recommended in these books for damage, the evil eye and other misfortunes on his visitors. They had no idea that they were participants in a scientific experiment. During this period, the “white sorcerer” picked up occult terminology and began to amaze his patients with the following recipes: “To stop drinking, you need to take half a glass of water and put it on left hand. Because the left hand is the screen of the biofield, and the right hand is the source of the biofield. After you have placed the glass on your left hand, move your fingertips right hand along the edge of the glass clockwise for two to three minutes. Your water is charged with your biocurrents!”

A reliable remedy against the evil eye and damage

Yuri Longo even intended to summarize all the experience of previous generations and create a guide for all occasions. He once explained to one of his friends: “Suppose you suspect that your husband is cheating on you, you open the manual and read: “Sew up Bay leaf into the lining of his jacket." But he immediately grinned: “If you don’t believe, no amount of laurel will help.” Longo conscientiously checked the “ancient” recipes and became convinced that he knew before he began experimenting - everything is decided by a person’s faith in their miraculousness. The recommendations themselves regarding whether to place the glass on your left hand or your right hand do not matter.

Having convinced himself of this, Longo nevertheless immediately invented miraculous recipes for his patients, which he allegedly borrowed from ancient papyri. However, at every opportunity, he urged people not to believe in all kinds of devilry. Here, for example, is what Longo recommended as a remedy for damage and the evil eye: “A very good, simple way is not to wish harm to others, not to envy anyone, not to have bad thoughts, evil in your soul, and then you will be protected from this. The most best protection- when a person does not believe in it, skepticism. If you don't believe it, don't fully believe it. If you start overthinking, you might get jinxed.”

Longo was right. A few years after the “white sorcerer” began receiving visitors, he fell ill with hypertension, and his blood pressure jumped so much that the medical commission gave him the second group of disability. It was then that he told his friend that he would die at the age of 55 and completely alone.

The mysterious resurrection of President Yushchenko

It so happened that the man who helped many people get rid of the main problem of the third millennium - loneliness, was himself very lonely, and no one could help him with this. Yuri Longo had many acquaintances, but no friends. There are legends about his many love affairs, but family life the sorcerer never worked out. He was the most an ordinary person, and everyone seriously considered him a sorcerer. In vain Yuri Longo, smiling through his mustache, convinced his interlocutors: “I am the most normal of all the abnormal psychics that exist in Moscow.” Nobody believed him.

After the murder of Vlad Listyev, his relatives first woke up the “white sorcerer” so that he could resurrect the TV journalist as soon as possible. Longo, half asleep, did not even understand that they were talking to him seriously and not joking at all. At the end 2004 In 2018, an interview with Yuri Longo appeared on the Internet, in which he allegedly stated: “I revived the man who is now the Ukrainian president with my own hands. There are witnesses. Time was somewhat lost. I don’t know why they pulled the cat by the tail, but the body lay in the ground for six days.” It would seem that it should be obvious to all sensible people that this interview is a gross fake; Longo was not only unable to resurrect anyone, but could not even say that. Nevertheless, this lie was taken for granted by many people. Longo, amazed at human naivety, was even forced to issue a refutation, but, of course, few people believed him.

At that time, the church condemned the vicious practice of resurrecting the dead. Having learned about this, Yuri Longo grabbed his head: “My grandmothers will stone me!” He persuaded his friend to arrange for him, through an acquaintance, a meeting with the rector of the Cathedral of St. Alexander Nevsky in Novosibirsk, Archpriest Alexander Novopashin. At this meeting, Longo told the priest that he would like to be baptized. In response, the archpriest angrily accused Longo of witchcraft. The “white sorcerer” had to briefly tell the priest that the magic created by Egyptian priests, eastern fakirs and northern shamans is just a sophisticated art of deception. And that deception can be for the good and evil of a person - therefore there is white magic and black. And that man differs from other creatures inhabiting the Earth not at all in his mind, but in his irrepressible imagination and ineradicable belief in miracles, otherwise it would not have been possible to drive anyone into the church.

It turned out that the artist of the original genre, Yuri Longo, and the priest were, in some way, colleagues in the craft. It is clear that the archpriest completely disagreed with this. He stated that Longo could be admitted to the sacrament of baptism only if he publicly repented of deceiving the working people. In response, the “white sorcerer” assured the priest that he would repent no earlier than the church did. That's where we parted.

Yuri Longo was baptized in one of the rural churches Vladimir region. The provincial priest did not find out his personal details, but only looked into the eyes of the “white sorcerer” and made sure that he did not wish harm to people. That was enough.

Yuri Longo died on February 17 2006 years from aortic rupture. After the death of the “white sorcerer,” his many friends vied with each other to invent fantastic versions of Longo’s premature departure. Some claimed that he was struck by an “energy blow” that was directed at him by “black sorcerers.” Others argued that he was tired of everything and, pretending to be dead, fled to Australia. None of his acquaintances remembered what Yuri Longo taught. Yours last interview Longo ended with the words: “Less politics, less envy, don’t envy, and you will really succeed. Find yourself good teacher, friend and do not strive to make money. Now the golden calf is at the forefront - this is what is ruining us.” While saying this, the “white sorcerer” did not float in the air. That must be why no one heard his words.
