Today they are the stars of the illusional genre. This niche in our country has long been vacant. In any case, the Russian audience about domestic magicians speaking with a big show, not heard many years. For some reason, people with such a gift and relevant ambitions did not give birth for some reason. And here - immediately three! Yes, such that with any slodded magician is ready to remove.
Ilya Safronov: "In the West, the illusionist does not say, they use the words" magic "and" wizard ". They are so accepted. By the way, the fact that Copperfield was called a wizard, even more increased the effect of his skill in my eyes. As a child, I saw the magicians only in the circus, and it never impressed me - well, at the level of a children's campaign with my mother to eat sugar wool. And here - a modern man in jeans, in an ordinary shirt shows such incredible things! I really thought the first time that this is magic, some kind of miracles. "
And you're all three infected with this art?! At the same time, your parents seem to not artists?
Sergey Safronov: "Not artists. Just mom embodied her dreams in us. She wanted to enter the Theater School, dreamed of cinema, but it did not work out, had to work, make money. And when we gave a little, my mother recorded us in all the circles that were in the Palace of Pioneers. "
Andrei Safronov: "From seven years, we played episodic roles in the" contemporary "and in the theater from Natalia Bondarchuk, danced in the team under Gostarevo USSR. We were attracted by the scene in any manifestation. "
Ilya: "It was clear that we should become creative people, but the choice of a specific profession occurred by the will of the case."
Sergey in the same interview gave all the three such characteristics: Ilya - the philosopher, Andrei - a fragrant, and he himself is a merry and balagen. Agree?
Ilya: "Not really. Sergey is really balagen. Andrei also humor, but does it otherwise. He is a more hooligan guy - in life, and on stage. It can afford to undress during the performance - to a certain limit, of course. And the elements of Sergey - Interactive. He loves to joke with the audience, arouse someone on the stage. "

And you philosopher?
Ilya: "I am yes. Closer to the philosopher. In general, we are all different. "
Is it not fraught with conflicts?
Sergey: "If they happen, then on everyday issues. In the work there is a competition that does not lead to quarrels, and it hits even faster. "
And when you, Andrey, at fourteen years won in the program "Himself director" car, did the brothers and then did not envy you?
Andrei: "And there was no such thing: they say, this is my car, and that's it. Everything has always been divided into our row. There was an option - pick up winnings. We did and did. Parents then built the cottage, and the money turned out to be by the way. The car in the family was already. "
Ilya: "It was a final program at the end of the year, during which we got different prizes several times. We were children creative, among other things, they removed some plasticine cartoons, all sorts of etudes with insects, and all this was sent to the "director himself". And the car was played in the final. Andrei with Sergey went on the air. When they arrived and said they won, well, I don't know ... I had a holiday. By the way, there was such an interesting point. Lead, Alexey Lysenkov, said: "Guys, now we will play the main prize. I have a request: the one who will hear what he won, let him get up and put his hand into this chamber. " And it so happened that Andrei in advance, not yet knowing what he won, got up and began to wave. "
Sergey: "And at this moment declare what he won."
Andrew: "Everything around, probably, they thought that this was some kind of support, once the guy had ahead of time, before declaring the result. And I ... I do not know if intuition worked, or something else. "
Guys, in childhood did you have a common room?
Sergey: "Yes, and Andrey Deli with two children with a bunk bed for two. And Ilya had her own room - like the older. "
Andrew: "I first slept upstairs, but then Sergey lost to me the second floor."
Ilya: "Sergey has already gained weight, he was hard to rise, so he lost. (Laughs.) In the room guys, we all played together. And in Mamina - the illusion devices did. We immediately took up the large-scale tricks, we did not attract handkerchiefs and coins. Began to collect a huge apparatus for the passage of a person through a person. They saw this focus from the Copperfield, went to the market, purchased Phaneur, boards, all sorts of instruments and right at mom began to build. "
Sergey: "As we drove this paneur on the subway!"
Ilya: "Indeed, it turned out to be a big problem to drag a huge sheet in the subway. They asked for a grandmother at the entrance, so that she missed us. They brought everything home, and somewhere the month was a construction. (Laughs.) Yes, so stormy that we did not have time to clean up. "
Thanks to the parents of Andrei, Sergey and Ilya seven years old played episodic roles in the theater of Natalia Bondarchuk and in the "contemporary". Photo: Family archive of sibron brothers.
Mom did not say: "Boys, maybe better with handkerchiefs and coins?"
Ilya: "In mom, two feelings were fighting: on the one hand, she, of course, was glad that children were passionate about something, and on the other hand, she, of course, did not really like it that it was all worked in her room."
Now, becoming famous artists, too, something like a saw and plain?
Sergey: "We order basic designs in workshops, but we refine the devices themselves. As - in any way we are inventors, must check everything yourself. "
You are inventors. And those who are with handkerchiefs and coins, by aging hands steeper you?
Ilya: "There is a certain category of magicians - manipulators that are engaged in one trick all life. They prepare one room, hide him, go to the contests with him. We have another task. We make a show in which micromagic (hand skill) is present, and a large illusion, and special effects. We have exclusive numbers from a series of micromagism, which no one in the world except us does. "
You perform many dangerous tricks - you are buried in the ground, ignite ... Is it worth risking so much?
Sergey: "Adrenaline, which splashes at the time of dangerous tricks, attractive. And at such moments, something overcoming in themselves, you become stronger. "
Ilya: "Mom, when I saw the blood of Sergey Blood, thought that she was theatrical. Blood flowed at the level of the abdomen, and the mother then said: "It is necessary, as you so you caught a bag with paint!" And the wound was real. By the way, such a reaction of viewers is not uncommon. I had a number - swallowing the blades. That is, several pieces of blades from a razor machine and a rope, then - magic passes, and gets "necklace" - a rope with blades strung on it. Once I accidentally cut the tongue. And in such cases, blood flies, it is quickly stopped. I look at the audience and understand: they think this is a special effect. But nothing can be done, you have to work until the end. "
In childhood, Ilya was a fan of David Copperfield. Photo: Family archive of sibron brothers.
Do you have a lot of extreme in your last show?
Ilya: "This is a family show for people of different ages. There are romantic rooms, humor, and extreme moments. We climb into each other's bodies, walk on the walls, flying above the scene. " Andrew: "The trick" Exemption from the strait shirt "is really extreme. He is performed by Sergey. According to the idea, he should be limited from the strait shirt in two minutes. "
Sergey: "But this year we all complicated. It is not enough that the time has been reduced to one minute, so also invented the special apparatus "Drong per person": if I do not have time to get rid of sixty seconds, he slams right on me. "
Was it without injury?
Sergey: "Unfortunately, no. On one of the shows, about twentieth (and there were thirty-nine them all. - Approx. Auth.), I clung to the foot for the rope, because of what I had fallen and broke my hand. It was painful. But I worked a concert to the end and only then went to the doctor. Plaster was impossible to put, as there were many more ideas ahead. I had to perform with an elastic bandage on the hand, which I was hidden under the clothes. But it was not the final. It was difficult for me to work with a injured hand, and at one of the concerts at some point I literally stood up for a second, I had already started jumping - and the trap slammed. I felt acute pain, and the blood hung up. But did not give any like, and none of the audience guess that I was tested at that moment. The wound was huge, torn. I had to modify the concert, and in the evening she was sewn. But even with two injured hands, I continued to perform. I understand that the audience came for impressions, and this number is very bright, and they want to see him. "

It doesn't seem to you that people want to expose other people's secrets more than charming?
Sergey: "The magician is interesting that I want to know his secret."
Ilya: "I agree with you. And this applies precisely to the Russian public. In the West, for example, people come to watch the show, they are interested in costumes, light, sound - the whole production. The Russian viewer sits - and always such eyes: how does he do it?! "
Sergey: "We recently performed in Volgograd. And one of our familiar who was in the hall, told us later about his neighbor. She, having seen the beginning of some trick, began to convince the girlfriend that he knew how it was done, and began to tell. And he really took it when I realized that her version was incorrect. This is a great pleasure for us - see how the viewer, first tuned skeptical and trying to declassify us, eventually surrender and goes shocked. "
Andrew: "After in our author's show, which passed in Ukraine, we made a trick" The disappearance of the Motherland's Monument ", we were filled with letters:" How did you do it? "
And what did you answer?
Ilya: "What is this magic. After all, only when a person believes in miracles - they happen to him. So why destroy this magic? "
Do you sometimes find yourself as the audience on the speeches of your colleagues?
Andrei: "We were several times in Las Vegas. This is the epicenter of world show business. There are still David Copperfield and other world stars of the illusive genre. Circus du Soleil with its coolest show. What they bring here is so, a moving story. The present representation of the circus du salts can only be seen on the stationary scene - and that's yes! "
And someone's cool trick inspires to create your own?
Ilya: "I am practically impossible to surprise me now, but when I see some number and I can not immediately unravel the secret, I don't even solve me, I will not calm down. I will come a second time for a concert or I will view a video at least a hundred times until I understand. "
Sergey: "When you see a cool number, you immediately arise to surpass, make even steeper."
Ilya and Andrei, for the nephews of Volodya and Alina you wizards?
Andrew: "They are still small - two and three years. While we are just some uncle for them. "
Ilya: "We are toys for them. When we come to visit, they start to play with us, make you run with them ... "

Somewhere I read that you are offended by Sergey's wife, they say, she distracts her husband from creativity ...
Ilya: "No, do not be offended. We treat with understanding. A person has a family. Here Andrei is also not alone, but there are no children yet. And I, the elder, is not married. I have a job all my life takes away. In the soul, I want a family, but somehow my hands do not reach, everything seems to be - then, then. Love, if destined, will come. "
Everything comes on time. But it happens that it does not come ...
Ilya: "This would not want this, of course. As one of our familiar says: "Ilya is married to illusions." (Laughs.)
In the program "First Class" you will lead a rubric in which you reveal your secrets. What for? For the sake of a pian
Sergey: "We will not smash, PR is important, especially on the pen channel dreams to get all the artists. By the way, our heading is the most rated program. "
Andrew: "We revealed the tricks that were already a hundred years. They have been outrered for a long time, but still quite suitable in order to attract the attention of the audience. "
Sergey: "We carefully reveal secrets. These are spent classic tricks that have already revealed many times in Western programs. We simply present them in a new way. "
Do not afraid to raise competitors in this way?
Ilya: "We are not afraid of competition, on the contrary, we try to raise the illusion genre on the height of which he is worthy. Therefore, invented a program with learning, help young illusionists. It is necessary to prove to the world that in Russia there is also someone to make high-quality shows! "
