About

My name is Andrei Pischalnikoff AKA Major Blaze. 

I perform with cornstarch fire breathing, using a handheld fire cannon and a fire and propane parasol, and use a fire whip.

I recently performed in the Cowboys and Aliens Fire Burlesque and the conclave of the Santa Cruz Unscruz Burning Man 2025 regional event.

I performed with the Sacramento Sidequest conclave at Burning Man 2024 and the Unscruz Burning Man regional event in Santa Cruz.  I have performed at several local events and at Camp Shady Rest in Oregon, across from the Oregon Country Fair.

I want to encourage new and active fire performers to experience the fun of fire breathing with a safer fuel, no chemical pneumonia or third degree burns on your face!  This website is to introduce the process for fun.  (Note, I recommend that people get professional training and treat fire performing with fire with respect and care)

I am a speaker on patent medicines, quackery, oddities, and the American Medicine show.  See www.doctorrsnick.com
