Sergey Safronov: illusionist, actor and TV host

Today Sergey Safronov (illusionist) is known as the performer of stunt numbers, as an actor and screenwriter, and also as a leading reality TV show, in particular, the well-known "Battle of Psychics". He repeatedly participated in the TV programs "You are an eyewitness", "Miracle people" and many others.

Childhood

The middle of the three brothers, Sergei Safronov was born on September 30, 1982 in Russia, Moscow. His parents - Safronovs Svetlana and Vladimir - already from the very childhood placed high hopes on their son, sparing no time and money for his personal development. Both of them were engineers, but, according to Sergei himself, my mother always dreamed that her sons would become actors, and her father wished for one thing: team spirit. So it turned out. In the present, Sergei, Ilya and Andrew are the legendary founders and participants in the illusory show of the Safronov Brothers - spectacles unsurpassed in realism and mystery at the same time.

Sergei once said: "We are so different. Andryukha is a shy, Ilya, of course, a philosopher, and I am a joker and a merry fellow. " Naturally, they quarrel, sometimes compete or suffer from "stellar illness", but ... "Everything can be overcome when doing a common cause," he added.

"Eralash" and "Wick"

Sergei Safronov, whose biography is very interesting, even in his school years liked to play in theatrical school productions. At about the same time he was invited to voice the story lines for the newsreel "Yeralash", popular with children. This cooperation lasted about five years. Twice he even got a role, after which they were filming, and one of the personnel productions was made when Sergei was already an adult.

After graduation Sergey Safronov studied at the School of Circus and Variety Art, and finally became an actor. Dolgikh, as he himself says, worked for seven years in Sovremennik, the most famous and revered drama theater of our time.

Sergei Safronov is an actor by vocation, but his film career is limited to only a few small works. In 1993, he was selected for the shooting of the plot "New Times" in the newsreel "Wick."

The beginning of the career of an illusionist

When first Ilya, and then Andrew began to come up with the first numbers for future illusion shows, interested in tricks, Sergei firmly decided to support them, although he became part of the team much later. But he was completely engaged in preparing the props and, with his words, "the market had to buy a sheet of plywood, which was 2 meters long."

The decisive TV show that marked the beginning of popularity took place on the air of the program "What? Where? When? "In 2002, when the Safronov brothers performed the" Burning alive "issue. "We went home with the feeling that tomorrow we'll wake up famous," - so Sergey said under the impression of what had happened to him. Photo Sergey Safronov now, perhaps, appears on the pages of any self-respecting publication.

Then followed a series of invitations and filming of a very diverse nature: at the same time, in 2002, the brothers staged an incendiary show at the rock festival in Luzhniki, when the concert DORO (Warlock) and UDO (Accept) was held.

Alexander Tsekalo suggested Safronov to make a stunt for the musical "Twelve Chairs". By agreeing to work on this project, the illusionists have become even more popular. They were fortunate enough to join the ranks of the members of the New York International Mage Club.

A lot of stunts with stunts made famous the Safronovs, one of them was "Teleportation of Man from Geneva to Montreux", which shocked Switzerland, which showed it on television in 2003. A similar trick - with suddenly appeared brothers - was organized by them during a concert with the orchestra about the new album "Ships" Svetlana Surganova.

Personal life

The first steps in the career of the illusionist in Sergei, strangely enough, coincided with the beginning of family relations. Maria, the producer of the project "Miracle People" on NTV, in which he participated, did not immediately like Sergei: "At that time I could not understand why the peasants from the film crew were running after it."

Noticing that his two brothers are also interested in Masha, he suddenly thought that "maybe he was blind." His reflections were interrupted by her invitation to a joint gala dinner on the occasion of a superb shooting. "It was so delicious that I trite remembered the way to the heart of a man," says the illusionist.

Naturally, Sergei was more likely to visit Mary to "fix something or hammer a nail." But then I realized that he had been living here for a long time. In 2011, the couple became engaged, but Sergei Safronov's wedding was postponed for some time because of the bride's pregnancy.

Only when the child was born, young parents could finally become legal spouses, and now they raise a daughter Alina and son Vladimir. Sergei Safronov's wife, Maria Maria, says she is infinitely happy in marriage with him.

Wizards "go to the people"

In 2003 Ivan Usachev - the leading TV show "You are an eyewitness" - announced the Safronovs' brothers as new participants of the program, after which a series of plots with a demonstration of tricks to people passing through the streets of Moscow took place during the year. At the same time, Sergei Safronov and his brothers realized the old idea and launched the rubric "School of Magic" on M1, which unobtrusively offered to try to create "miracles" with the help of magician techniques.

Sergei Safronov has a number of awards, which he received for several years at the awards ceremonies, in particular such as from the MTV channel called Gameland Award-2005, "Golden Gramophone" from "Russian Radio".

The whole year 2006 was held for the Safronov brothers quite interestingly: they attended rock concerts of the Leningrad musical group Sergei Shnurov, Alexander Pushnoy, Svetlana Surganova and her orchestra as a special guest.

"The fight of extrasensories"

A year later, Ilya, Sergei and Andrei Safronov set an interesting task for the "Battle of Psychics": as skeptical observers, to recognize and expose illusionists among applicants wishing to obtain the status of a psychic. The brothers became the leading show on a permanent basis, independently chose a list of tests for the participants. "This project realized not only the dream of television, but also helped in satisfying the desire to seek real psychics," said Sergei.

"Miracle people" and "Island"

In 2008, Euronews presented his documentary on real events about the Safonovs' illusionists. From the first days of 2009 the program "Miracle People" was released, which became famous for involving celebrities and passers-by in the Safronov brothers' tricks. Shooting of their show-broadcast "Ukraine of Wonders", which began in 2012, are still held in different cities of the country.

One of the most unique gifts of fate was for Sergey a victory in 2013 in the reality show "Island", which took place on NTV, which brought him universal love and as much as 12 million rubles.
