During a national search of thousands, sixteen self-professed psychics each gained a spot to compete on television. For the program, tests were created by the production company with the stated goal of assessing contestants' supernatural abilities. As each psychic is tested he or she is awarded points based on the results of the tests. At the end of every show the two psychics with the highest scores move forward to continue in the competition, and the low scored contestants leave the series. Ultimately the final two psychics face off to compete for the grand prize of $100,000 and the title of 'America’s #1 Psychic.'

The show premiered on the Lifetime Television Network on October 12, 2007cite web |url=http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=20070712lifetime05 |title=Breaking News - Lifetime Creates Friday Night... |accessdate=2008-06-02 |publisher= |date=2007-12-07] .
