In the programme, aspiring entrepreneurs have a chance to make their dreams come true when they pitch a business idea to five multimillionaire investors and seek investments for a slice of their profits.
The rival dragons heard that clairvoyant Jayne Wallace had increased her company’s takings almost ten-fold in three years. Her range includes candles, incense, aromatherapy and essential oils.
Jayne, who also sells sets of crystals and sage for cleansing auras, told the dragons, “We put a little bit of reiki into them to bring magic to our customers.”
The goods are already being sold through online retailers Asos and boohoo, and in Holland & Barrett health food shops.
Jayne’s colleague Grace Frost explained that the brand needed help with marketing, especially on TikTok. They have 30,000 followers on Instagram.
In the “Den,” technology expert Steven Bartlett looked at the display table and said “I’ve seen all these products before.
“My girlfriend literally has an altar which looks like that in her room. I wake up sometimes and she’s ‘sageing’ me to try to get rid of my bad energy.”
Sageing involves burning the tip of a small bundle of dried sage; the smoke is then blown or wafted around to cleanse a space of negative influences.

All the dragons were impressed by the Psychic Sisters’ turnover figures, which jumped from £128,000 to £1.2 million in three years.
Businesswoman Sara Davies commented, “You should be very proud.”
Jayne explained she also has another Psychic Sisters business based in London’s Selfridges where a team of clairvoyants, palmists, astrologers and tarot readers offer sittings.
It is the only concession of its kind in a department store. The service earns up to £15,000 a week.
Jayne is known for her tarot readings and has given guidance to various personalities including American celebrity sisters Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner.
She quickly made it clear that part of her business portfolio was not on offer, causing veteran dragon Peter Jones, who has interests in mobile phones, television, media, leisure, retail and property, to say, “I’m out.”
As the remaining dragons jostled for an investment opportunity, Sara Davies told Touker Suleyman, who made his millions from fashion, to “shut up a minute” when he tried to interrupt her negotiation.
Sara told Jayne and Grace she “would genuinely love to be a part of your world.” Deborah Meaden, who ran a multimillion-pound family holiday company, agreed, saying that the business was “genius” and “cool.”

In the scrap which followed, the female dragons came out on top, each investing £25,000 for a five per cent stake in the company. Jayne told Sara and Deborah, “Your aura is shining.”
At the start of her presentation in the dragons’ den, Steven Bartlett pointed to a crystal ball on the display table and asked Jayne how she thought her pitch would go. “It’s going to go really well,” she rightly replied.
In 2019 Jayne published her book My Psychic Stories: Amazing True Stories of Spirit Contact.
Six years earlier, she appeared on Larry King’s American chat show Larry King Now.
Jayne told the iconic host she was psychic at the age of about five, having woken up and felt “lots of different energies” around her.
A female apparition triggered psychic visions and helped Jayne to connect with her spirit guides.
Jayne was filmed stopping people in the street and giving impromptu readings. In the studio interview, Larry asked where her information came from.
“It’s my intuition,” the clairvoyant answered. “Everybody has abilities; everybody has a sixth sense.”
