About

My name is Andrei Pischalnikoff AKA Major Blaze. 

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

Recent Performances:

• The Cowboys and Aliens Fire Burlesque and the conclave of the Santa Cruz Unscruz Burning Man 2025 regional event.

• Sacramento Sidequest conclave at Burning Man 2024 and the Unscruz Burning Man regional event in Santa Cruz.  

• Camp Shady Rest in Oregon, across from the Oregon Country Fair.

• Several Sacramento Spark (Burning Man Community) events

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
