00:30DASOF

00:40I am Igor Dasov.

00:42I am 57 years old.

00:44I swallow a stick.

00:48I have been working in circus since 1990.

00:54My room was originally built on the flexibility of the body.

00:59And then I came across a videotape with such things as a stick swallower.

01:07In general, I caught fire.

01:13And I decided to try it myself.

01:15No one taught me anything.

01:17I started with a barbecue stick.

01:19And slowly, slowly I got to the big swords.

01:29But I lay in the hospital twice.

01:31There was such a thing.

01:33There was bleeding.

01:35I was limping.

01:37Well, now I do it more carefully.

01:40Without rushing anywhere.

01:52Well, I, based on my experience,

01:55also taught my son.

01:57My son also swallows a stick.

02:01Because this is such a profession.

02:03You need to force yourself.

02:06Do.

02:07Rehearse.

02:09Otherwise you will not achieve anything.

02:11This is my profession.

02:13I don't even know what I would be without circus.

02:16I don't even know what I would be without circus.
