I’m Elena, I grew up in a distant city beyond the Arctic Circle, in Murmansk, I spent half my life under the light of the northern lights and I know what a polar day is) But the harsh climate of the far north did not affect my character, I am restless, curious, sociable, emotional , open to new knowledge and people - all these qualities harmoniously coexist with a sense of tact and inner intelligence. I graduated from the university with a degree in applied mathematics, but went for my dream and work as a make-up artist in films) now I also perform with my husband on stage ... Friends say that I have a subtle sense of humor, and I have ants in my pants;) Vadim, my husband, a fanatical inventor of miracles, a magician with burning eyes) Born and raised in St. Petersburg, as a true northerner restrained, modest, dedicated, focused and logical. His first education is an engineer, and in combination with illusion art - this is an amazing mixture! A lover of diving, aviation modeling, carpentry and hot weather) We are so different, but both live in creativity, traveling, knowing ourselves and the world, meeting interesting people and love!

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Vadim: I did a lot of amazing things: dived without scuba diving to a depth of 13 meters, controlled a plane, hitchhiked, won the magic trick competition and got married:) Elena: Read "Harry Potter" 12 times!!!! (and still going to do it many times) Well, seriously, once, for two weeks, I walked and did not know that my leg was broken (I will tell you this entertaining story;) At sixteen I parachuted without an instructor (that time my both legs remained whole:)
