About Major Blaze

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.

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 start with professional training and treat fire performing with respect and care)

In addition to teaching cornstarch fire breathing, I speak on patent medicines, quackery, oddities, memento mori and the American Medicine show.  I have also begun selling weird history artifacts such as rare victorian poison bottles.
