| Can anybody learn to juggle with knives, lie on broken glass, and fling about burning torches?! Audis with laughter quotes his father: "Tam nado silnovo i durnovo (you shod be strong and crazy)." Nevertheless he admits with self-criticism - you should be slightly crazy. Because these juggles are dangerous. The fellow confesses that he has scars from knives, fire and broken glass. Then why should anybody do this? He has soon enough understood that modern public craves for blood - as dangerous numbers as possible. Audis tells how spectacular is the view when a brick is broken on his chest, when he pushes a nail of 12 centimetres into his nose. Ugh! Probably he makes his juggles with the aid of yoga? "In no case I am yogi. I usually laugh - I don't do anything through omm." Many people ask him whether it is not difficult! "It is very, very difficult to learn the juggles, but to know them - well, that's quite simple," explains the sinewy fellow. The juggle starts with an idea. All you have to do is exercise. Without interruption. "I had an idea that I will juggle with four badminton rackets. That will be a cool juggle! I exercise for one week. Then comes disbelief. But you should endure one more week, then another. Tomorrow is already the second month but still can't do that! It is so exhausting to try one and the same, in addition your attention should be sharpened all the time." | |
