The shop appeared in my life accidentally, but I follow the rule: accidental things never happen accidentally.

One psychic lady once told my wife that I’m a magician. I believe it’s true, as I myself am convinced that my shops are magical. That’s my job — a Magician.

There are complete lunatics, but there are also those who create toys and other things for the shop based on sheer logic, some algorithms and market-related observations.

Fashionable means scrumptious. Something can only be fashionable if it is marked by the balance of colour, shape and the feeling of comfort.

I love tasty food, you could even say that I am somewhat of a gourmet. As for cooking stuff myself, I like making apple charlotte: three eggs, a glass of sugar, a glass of flour, mix it all in a blender, add chocolate and coriander, chopped apples, and bake for 20-30 minutes at 200-250̊C.

The smell of hay, dried grass is the smell of my childhood. I grew up in the ruralest village, so every time I come across this scent, the memories take me back to the time of my childhood, the time of complete freedom.

I can’t stand the lack of oxygen in the air. What’s more, sunlight is one thing vital for me. Therefore, the place which is best suited for my most comfortable existence is the mountains of Altay.

About 20 years ago, the Americans conducted an experiment: they had two groups of athletes. The athletes in the first group were put through an intensive training course, while the athletes in the second group were training blindfolded, using their own imagination. The outcome was a sport research bombshell, as the results of all the athletes turned out to be the same. So, apparently, you can “gym” even while you’re sitting in the subway.

My son is just over a year old, and I so totally get a kick out of spending time with him! Those are the brightest and the most powerful emotions in my life that I’m experiencing now.

When I was a kid, I wanted be a geologist, but I’d never go for it now because now I know what it is like. I used to believe that those were people who spend all their time in the trips to the mountains, but it turned out to be far more trivial: mud everywhere, constant drilling and living in tents in the depths of the woods or in the piercing cold of the Polar Regions.

I love taking a hot shower. It’s more than simply a physical cleansing. Water is what helps me to achieve energetic purification.

It’s nice to have a cosmetologist as a wife. I don’t have to worry about anything. She knows exactly what I need and where to get it.

When I once came to the village, my one classmate asked me: ‘You know, I was reading a paper recently, and I saw a word there “a metrosexual”… Are those the people who have sex in the metro?’ — That’s what he asked me.
