In the last 20 years, a whole separate branch of show business has begun to develop, associated with fakirs. These are the so-called theaters of fire (fire show), the participants of which are mostly non-professional amateur artists working with various fire and pyrotechnic instruments. At the same time, fireworkers, i.e. fire show artists, should not be fully identified with the concept of a fakir, because. the latter are mainly limited to swallowing fire and blowing it, when, as firemen, they mainly manipulate various fire props (see fire show).

An excerpt characterizing the Fakir
“Try to serve well and be worthy,” he added, addressing Boris sternly. - I'm glad ... Are you here on vacation? he dictated in his impassive tone.“I’m waiting for an order, Your Excellency, to go to a new destination,” Boris answered, showing neither annoyance at the prince’s sharp tone, nor a desire to enter into a conversation, but so calmly and respectfully that the prince looked intently at him.
- Do you live with your mother?
“I live with Countess Rostova,” Boris said, adding again: “Your Excellency.”
“This is the Ilya Rostov who married Nathalie Shinshina,” said Anna Mikhailovna.
“I know, I know,” said Prince Vasily in his monotonous voice. - Je n "ai jamais pu concevoir, comment Nathalieie s" est decidee a epouser cet ours mal - leche l Un personnage completement stupide et ridicule. Et joueur a ce qu "on dit. [I could never understand how Natalie decided to go out marry that filthy bear. Completely stupid and funny person. Besides a gambler, they say.]
- Mais tres brave homme, mon prince, [But a kind person, prince,] Anna Mikhailovna remarked, smiling touchingly, as if she knew that Count Rostov deserved such an opinion, but asked to pity the poor old man. - What do the doctors say? asked the princess, after a pause, and again expressing great sadness on her tear-stained face.
“There is little hope,” said the prince.
- And I so wanted to thank my uncle again for all his good deeds to me and Borya. C "est son filleuil, [This is his godson,] - she added in such a tone, as if this news should have extremely pleased Prince Vasily.
Prince Vasily thought for a moment and grimaced. Anna Mikhailovna realized that he was afraid to find in her a rival according to the will of Count Bezukhoy. She hastened to reassure him.
