Nikolai Ganailyuk, a man with tousled hair, a crazy look, in a white robe and a bright green tie, pours water into one glass, pours white powder into another and asks: “Who wants to try it?” Sitting in front of Ganailyuk, two dozen children aged 12-13, who had previously been closely following his every action, simultaneously raise their hands and shout: “I, I!” Ganailyuk calls one over, invites him to mix the powder with water, count to three and pour the contents on his head. The boy freezes in indecision.
Ganailyuk gets down on one knee: “Then pour it on my head.” The boy obediently mixes, counts, turns the glass over... and nothing comes out of it. "What a trick!" - some girl screams enthusiastically. “It’s not a trick, but a scientific experiment,” Ganailyuk corrects and patiently explains why the powder—a superabsorbent—absorbs moisture so well. In his company "Show" crazy professor Nicolas" Ganailyuk long ago introduced a taboo on the word "trick". After all, what the company does is real science, albeit similar to magic.
With the collapse Soviet Union and funding cuts Russian science, "Horizons of Technology for Children", "In the World of Science" (publication resumed in 2003), "Home Laboratory" and "Quantum" (publications resumed in 2003) ceased publication in electronic format). Circulations of popular science literature fell to 20 million copies in 1991 and to 8 million in 1999. All-Union competitions “Young Physicist” and clubs “Young Chemist” ceased to be held (140 thousand people took part in them in the 1970s), and the set of the same name, which was in the home of seemingly every Soviet schoolchild, lost in competition with LEGO and transformers.
New life has been breathed into science by cable and satellite television, the number of subscribers of which, according to National Cable Networks, increased sevenfold from 2004 to 2011. According to TNS Russia, the top 15 non-terrestrial TV channels include five popular science channels: Discovery Channel (15 million monthly viewers), Animal Planet (14 million viewers), “My Planet” (10 million) and others. But media projects are not the only opportunity to make money from an interest in science.
Mad Science
In 2006, Valery Mityakin, the owner of a small company producing rubber coatings, was leafing through a franchise catalog and suddenly came across an offer from the Canadian company Mad Science. Since 1986, she has been organizing science shows for children, with all sorts of chemical “tricks” that have a completely scientific explanation. Mityakin was inspired and bought a franchise. It cost “tens of thousands of dollars plus royalties,” Mityakin recalls. He recruited a team of managers and began organizing performances in entertainment centers and at children's parties.
Two years later, Mityakin brought the company to breakeven. Today, its turnover is, according to the Federation Council, more than 30 million rubles. in year. In 2008, 24-year-old Nikolai Ganailyuk, a graduate of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, who quit a large consulting company for the sake of his dream of becoming an actor, came to work as the host of the Russian Mad Science show. Ganailyuk came up with the pseudonym Crazy Professor Nicolas and quickly won the recognition of the audience.
The Mad Professor Nicolas Show
In 2009, Ganailyuk demanded a salary increase. Holding a holiday for a client cost an average of 10 thousand rubles, but the host received only a tenth of this money. He was rejected from Crazy Science, Ganailyuk quit and opened own company- "The Crazy Professor Nicolas Show." Ganailyuk refused to buy a franchise from his former employer. For this, Mityakin still harbors a grudge against him (he even refused to be photographed with his competitor for this article). However, Mityakin himself stopped paying for the Canadian Mad Science franchise, renaming his company “Mad Science”.
“I had clients who left with me, they recommended me to friends and further by word of mouth,” says Ganailyuk, artistically waving his hands. “A year later, I realized that I could not cope with orders alone. I had to hire a person, then another one, and another." Now the company employs nine presenters (in white coats, with green ties and bright hairstyles), an accountant, an administrator, three drivers, a storekeeper and a director - Ganailyuk himself. Total 16 people. The revenue of “The Crazy Professor Nicolas Show” for 2011 amounted, according to the Federation Council, to 15 million rubles, that is, two times less than that of “Crazy Science”. True, Ganailyuk promises to catch up with Mityakin in 2013. Prices for an hour-long program for both competitors range from 10-15 thousand rubles.
40 magazines and eight dozen television channels today cover popular science topics. The growth in circulation of educational literature has resumed
In this business, a lot is built on charisma, so Ganailyuk selects presenters from among actors, not teachers. Conducts real theatrical castings: candidates are given props and asked to demonstrate experiments. When the experiments don’t work out (which happens almost always, because actors, as a rule, are not very savvy in terms of chemistry), the presenter must get out of it: Ganailyuk believes that the most important thing is the ability to improvise, and shakes his head offendedly when I call his employees “ animators." “These are not pirates who jump with ropes around children, these are the presenters. And their salary is appropriate,” says Ganailyuk. Now he pays his presenters more than "Crazy Science" - from 20% to 25% of the order.
Ganailyuk has no competitors other than Crazy Science, but there are six franchise partners - in Vladivostok, Yekaterinburg, Irkutsk, Rostov-on-Don, Samara and Chelyabinsk. Mityakin, unlike Professor Nicolas, does not sell a franchise - he himself was a franchisee, he knows. So Ganailyuk’s former partner from Yekaterinburg, who was the first to buy the franchise, broke his contract with the “professor” a year ago and opened his own show “Opener”.
Competitors differ not only in their attitude towards franchising, but also in their sales channels. If "Crazy Science" focuses on children's parties, then "The Mad Professor Nicolas Show" prefers to perform in schools, as a rule, instead of chemistry lessons. The presenters distribute leaflets to students and then often receive invitations from parents.
Ganailyuk is pleased with his status as a “crazy professor”: after all, he has fully realized his childhood dream of becoming an actor.
Craving for experiments
In the museum of entertaining sciences "Experimentanium", which is designed to tell children and remind adults how it works the world from the point of view of physics, chemistry and biology, almost everything can be touched. A huge eye, which you have to hold with both hands, and plastic embryos demonstrating the development of a child at different stages of pregnancy are the anatomical part of the museum. And if you approach the table and chairs enlarged several times, it immediately becomes clear how a three-year-old child feels in the adult world. Nearby you can play a piano with a glass front wall and at the same time see what is happening inside the instrument, wander through the glass labyrinth, studying optical illusions, and also watch how a tornado is born: an American installation costing $10 thousand simulates this process in miniature.
For museum co-founder Natalia Potapova and her three university friends, creating a museum of entertaining sciences is the main experiment in life. As children, they all studied in the Moscow palaces of pioneers and read the magazine " Young technician" and "Entertaining Physics" by Yakov Perelman. And when their children grew up, it turned out that there were too few places in Moscow where the whole family could have fun and usefully spend time. While traveling abroad, the partners noticed: Western museums are much more interactive than Russian ones. “If something doesn’t exist, then you need to do it yourself,” Potapova and her partners decided and in the fall of 2010 they rented a 2,000 sq. m premises on the territory of a former factory on Butyrskaya Street in Moscow.
Over the course of a year, they made a major overhaul, partly purchased abroad, and partly assembled 250 exhibits for the museum at their own research and production base. The initial investment (the founders' own funds) amounted to several million dollars. According to SPARK-Interfax, the co-owners of the company are Potapova herself, who in the past was involved in real estate management at Interros and VTB, and three top managers of the Life banking group - Yaroslav Alekseev, Konstantin Suloev and Philip Samarets.
Natalia Potapova assures that all profits are reinvested into the museum collection by the co-owners. In January, they purchased ten more expensive exhibits, which will be housed in an additional 500 square meters. m of the second floor. A child ticket costs 250 rubles. on a weekday and 350 rubles. on weekends, adults - 350-450 rubles. On weekdays, the museum is visited by about 300 people - mostly school excursions.
Interesting everyday life of "Experimentanium"
On weekends, the audience of the Experimentanium is parents with children, their number can reach up to 500. The co-owners of the museum are actively developing other areas - master classes and lectures on " entertaining sciences"and even experimental cinema. Due to this, the partners are trying to attract a youth audience to the museum, for whom they organized, for example, a student party on Tatiana's Day. In addition, the museum has a store that sells puzzles and thematic books, including the famous " Entertaining physics"Perelman. According to the calculations of the Federation Council, the revenue of Experimentanium could be about 50 million rubles per year.
In December, the partners opened a branch of the museum in Saratov, deciding to test a smaller model of the Experimentanium (its area is 600 sq. m) in one of the typical cities with a million population. If the experiment is successful, the partners will open branches in other Russian and Ukrainian cities, because for the project to become profitable, Potapova estimates, at least five museums must be created.
Nikolai Ganailyuk is looking not for chemists, but for actors for his shows. But he flatly refuses to consider them animators, elevating them almost to the rank of scientists. For especially talented people, the salary reaches 100 thousand rubles. per month
Today to my friend, the famous To Professor Nicolas turns 26 years old. If you don't already know, he hosts amazing science shows for kids where every child takes part in interesting experiments and thereby learns something about physics and chemistry. I recently filmed one of his performances, about this in today’s report.
Once Nikolai spied an idea from a Canadian company and decided to create the first science show for children in Russia. At first there was one small show with dry ice, but over time he began to add more and more experiments. Currently the program includes 14 science shows and more than 70 experiments. By the way, Nikolai can now be seen on the boxes of children's science kits.
The professor's most important assistant and assistant is his wife Dasha. He constantly mocks her, jokes and swears. Dasha is a very patient woman. 
Of course, the most spectacular experiments are with dry ice. 
I have never seen such joyful children. 
Which are the most interesting places, where did you perform?
- Children's colony for juvenile delinquents. The children were quite mature, 16–18 years old, and during the performance an incident occurred. I invited one of the teenagers to help me perform a classic experiment on how to get an egg inside a flask. I give the flask to a volunteer, and at the same second an aunty, a policeman, appears and takes the flask from him. As a result, I had to do the whole experiment myself, and the guy just stood next to me. 
In a trolleybus, which was traveling along the boulevard ring. Of course, all this was not just like that, I showed experiments as part of the environmental campaign “green trolleybus”, told the audience about what carbon dioxide is. 
Number with a rainbow. 
Freeze the rose in liquid nitrogen... 
And we break it! 
Snow! 
Some of the experiments are carried out by the children themselves. They prepared super-slime in cups, then made worms. 
Nikolai, by the way, often performs for free and takes part in charity events. Several times I brought joy to the children undergoing treatment at the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital, the University Children's Clinical Hospital of the First Moscow State Medical University named after. Sechenov, Center for medical care for children with developmental defects of the craniofacial region and congenital diseases of the nervous system. 
The cost of a show for a class is about 10,000 rubles, it all depends on the program. 
Kolya, thanks for the show! It was very interesting. Sorry for so few photos, it was hard to tear myself away from the show!
Official post of congratulations -
Then I realized that it was time to move to the next level. “The Professor Nicolas Show” had already begun to generate a stable income, and it was difficult for me alone to cope with the large flow of orders. I hired two assistant presenters, trained them and rented an office. Now, four years after the start, the Moscow team has 23 people, including 12 leaders.
During the season (September, January and May) we have 200 shows per month. The presenters conduct 15-17 programs a day. In normal months there is a decline. I take the choice of presenters seriously: 97% of those who come are eliminated at the casting. We do real acting auditions once or twice a year. 100 people came to the last casting; everyone had to show the proposed experiment in an interesting way and get out of it. difficult situation. In the end, five completed the task, but only three were able to work. We immediately decided that we would not hire professional animators, because they had to be retrained.
Money
The starting capital was 100,000 rubles, which I took from the bank four years ago. I spent this money on purchasing chemicals and a machine for making cotton candy, and then I said “no” to loans. I still adhere to this policy: I invest money from free money.
Our services are not cheap: in Moscow, the price for a performance varies from 8,000 to 60,000 rubles, depending on the length of the show. IN small towns the price, as a rule, does not exceed 8,000 rubles.
I am very proud of our Nicolas Peugeot cars, which the presenters ride. We purchased three cars for Moscow - it is more profitable to maintain new cars than to repair used ones and pay taxi drivers. Branded cars bring benefits: new customers often call after seeing Professor Nicolas' flashy cars in traffic. On contextual advertising we spend the most, about 100,000 rubles a month - it brings in 30% of orders. I don't skimp on brand development - This is my long term investment. The result suits me: compared to last year, revenue increased by 50% and amounts to about 25 million rubles. Franchising gives about 25% of turnover, the rest - income from the show, sales of kits for home experiments a la “Young Chemist” and monetization of the YouTube channel through advertising.

Hello!
At the end of 2013, the publishing house Mann, Ivanov and Ferber published my book “The Experiments of Professor Nicolas.” In it I collected experiments that can easily be prepared at home, described them and provided large quantities photographs.
We tried very hard to make the book interesting, and I would like to know your opinion about it.
Under the cut detailed information about the book:
()
A book in a high-quality edition is an excellent gift for a child.
After reading this book with your whole family and experimenting thoroughly, you will definitely agree with our motto that
Science is great!
I will be glad to receive your feedback and comments.
Hello dear guest!!!
Now most of my posts are open.
Personal posts and photographs are kept under lock and key. If you want to read everything, please knock. And write a little about yourself, I’ll be glad to meet you :)
Happy reading and Have a good mood!
Using a chemical reaction, we will summon the genie from the flask.

How can you create a glowing slime?
I wonder what is needed to create a glowing slime, and what experiments can be done with it?
We will need:
- polyvinyl alcohol;
- sodium borate;
- a glass and a spoon;
- phosphorescent paint;
- flashlight (ultraviolet is best).
What we do:
1. Pour polyvinyl alcohol into a glass.
2. Add phosphorescent dye inside the polyvinyl alcohol and mix well.
3. Prepare a sodium borate solution.
4. Add borax solution inside the polyvinyl alcohol and mix well. Lizun is ready!
5. It stretches and tears, exhibiting the properties of both liquid and solid(this is a non-Newtonian fluid).
6. If you shine a flashlight on a slime and turn off the light, it will glow!

- potassium iodide.
Attention! Peroxide and foam should not be touched with unprotected hands.
What we do:
1. Put on protective gloves and add a small amount of hydrogen peroxide inside the flask.
2. Now you need to add a small amount of liquid soap or dishwashing detergent.
3. Mix the contents inside the flask thoroughly!
4. Add a spoonful of potassium iodide.
5. Hurray! Foam!!!
And if the liquid is tinted, then the foam will be colored.

How to prepare a non-Newtonian fluid?
A non-Newtonian fluid is an amazing substance because it has the properties of both a solid and a liquid.
In order to prepare a colored non-Newtonian liquid you will need:
- starch;
- a bowl of warm water;
- liquid dye.
What we do:
1. Start adding starch to a bowl of water and mix the contents thoroughly.
2. After some time, you will be able to feel how the spoon begins to resist movement inside the liquid.
3. If you take a small amount of liquid in your hands and roll it, it behaves like a dense lump, but as soon as you stop influencing it, it spreads like an ordinary thick liquid.
4. You can try to lift the bowl by jerking sharply with your hands that are inside the liquid.
5. If you move the spoon smoothly inside the liquid, nothing interesting happens, but if you do this with sudden movements, the liquid parts and you can see the bottom.

The best recipe preparing colored slime.
We all love slimes because they have both solid and liquid properties. They can be perfectly stretched, torn, put back together, made into balls - beauty!
To make slime you will need:
1. Polyvinyl alcohol.
2. Sodium borate solution.
3. Dye.
4. Glass and spoon.
How to prepare slime:
1. Pour polyvinyl alcohol into a glass and add a small amount of dye.
2. Mix thoroughly with a spoon so that the alcohol is evenly colored.
3. Now add a small amount of sodium tetraborate solution (it must be dissolved in water in advance) in a ratio of 1 to 4.
4. After this, we begin to stir vigorously until the liquid thickens.
5. Slime is ready!
After experimenting with slime, you need to put it in a glass with a lid so that it does not dry out.

I wonder how you can dissolve a huge piece of polystyrene foam, turning it into chemical chewing gum? Let's do an experiment!
To conduct the experiment you will need:
. Bowl;
. a long piece of foam;
. acetone;
. spoon.
Experiment stages:
1. Pour a small amount of acetone into a bowl.
2. Take a piece of foam on top.
3. Place a piece of Styrofoam in a bowl and watch it begin to shrink right before your eyes!
4. If you look from above, you can see a lot of bubbles and also hear a hissing sound.
5. Gradually, all the foam will dissolve in acetone, turning into a viscous substance.
6. Using a spoon, take the chemical “chewing gum” - it stretches. If you take it out of the bowl and leave it for a while, it will dry out and become hard.
What actually happened to the piece of foam?

How can you turn a tea bag into a miniature flying machine and send it flying? Let's do an experiment!
To conduct the experiment you will need:
tea bags (you need those that do not have a partition inside);
scissors;
tray;
lighter;
cup.
Photo instructions for the experiment:
1. Using scissors, cut off the top of the bag.
2. Straighten the bag and pour the contents into the glass.
3. You should end up with a cylinder, which you need to place on a tray and light it with a lighter.
4. The bag will begin to burn and shrink in size, and after a while it will fly into the air!
5. Now that you know how to send a tea bag flying, try sending three tea bags flying at once!

I wonder how you can make a soap bubble levitate? Let's do an experiment!
To conduct the experiment you will need:
Bowl;
warm water;
dry ice;
plastic pipette;
scissors;
glass;
soap solution;
cotton gloves.
Experiment stages:
1. Fill a bowl halfway with warm water.
2. Add soap solution to the glass.
3. Cut off part of the pipette with scissors so that you get a tube convenient for blowing soap bubbles.
4. Touch the tip of the tube to the soap solution and blow into it. The soap bubble is ready!
5. Put on gloves and make sure that the soap bubble does not float in the air on its own, but falls.
6. Add a handful of dry ice inside the bowl. In warm water it will immediately begin to transform into a gaseous state, forming an interesting cloud.
7. Blow a soap bubble into the bowl. The bubble will not sink, but will levitate in a cloud of carbon dioxide - very beautiful.

The beads begin to move in amazing ways! What is their secret?
If you place these beads in a bowl and then pull the tip, they will begin to fall out of the container as if by themselves. Interested in trying it? Let's do an experiment!
To conduct the experiment you will need:
various containers;
scotch;
garlands of beads.
Experiment stages:
1. Take a bowl and carefully place the bead garland inside so that it does not get tangled.
2. The tip of the garland should look outside the bowl. For clarity, tie it with tape or tape - this will make it easier for you to find it later.
3. Raise the bowl of beads to chest level, and then pull the tip of the garland.
4. Look, the beads begin to jump out of the bowl as if by themselves. Moreover, you can see how the garland rises from bottom to top, as if breaking the force of gravity.
5. Repeat the experiment, this time take a tall decanter or vase. Also carefully place the garland inside the container, sticking the tip out (you didn’t forget about the electrical tape, right?).
6. As the garland moves from a tall decanter, you can even better observe how the beads rise from bottom to top, which looks simply amazing!
7. Now it's time for another fun experiment with inertial beads. Place the garland on the table in a snake pattern as in the photo.
8. If you pull the tip, the beads begin to fall from the table while repeating complex pattern Garlands.
9. And if you are lucky enough to have a very long garland and a lot of patience (after all, it takes much longer to lay it out), then you will be able to watch the amazing movement of the beads for a long time.
What makes the beads move in such an interesting way?

It turns out that you can conduct many entertaining experiments with powder to create artificial snow. It's time to explore it properly. Let's do an experiment!
To conduct the experiment you will need:
. powder for creating artificial snow;
. cups;
. narrow glass;
. spoon;
. warm water.
Stages of the experiment:
1. Pour a few spoons of powder into a glass to create artificial snow.
2. Pour warm water into the second glass.
3. Quickly pour a glass of water into a glass of powder.
4. After a while, you will see how the powder absorbs water and begins to turn into artificial snow. At the same time, it will increase significantly in volume.
5. Now do a similar experiment with a narrow glass. Also pour a few spoons of powder inside.
6. Add warm water into a glass and watch how so much artificial snow appears from a small glass.
7. It’s also very interesting to make snow right in your hands. Place a small amount of powder into your palms and then ask your friend to pour warm water directly into your palms.
8. Warm and pleasant to the touch snow appears in your palms as if by magic. Great!
9. Now it’s time to make a snowball from artificial snow. Pour a small amount of water into a pile of artificial snow.
10. By adding water it forms a snowball! It's just a pity that he's so fragile.
What happens to artificial snow after a while?
3. Add inside the carafe vegetable oil- small colored water bubbles will begin to rise.
4. Wait until the colored water is at the bottom and the oil is at the top.
5. Now it’s time to add the effervescent tablets inside.
6. As soon as the effervescent tablets reach the water, they will begin to dissolve, releasing gas, and colored bubbles will begin to move.
7. Place the decanter on top of the flashlight and turn off the light - it’s very beautiful to watch the movement of colored illuminated figures.
8. Now do a similar experiment, but this time take a tall glass and a different dye. For beauty, illuminate the container with a flashlight from above.
9. Use a tall glass or other shaped vessel.
You can watch the movement of the bubbles for a very long time - it’s so beautiful!

It turns out that tablets can be used not only for treatment. I wonder if it is possible to make real chemical snakes from calcium gluconate tablets? Let's do an experiment!
To conduct the experiment you will need:
. dry fuel;
. fireproof stand;
. calcium gluconate tablets;
. lighter.
Stages of the experiment:
1. Place a tablet of dry fuel on top of the fireproof stand, and place four tablets of calcium gluconate on top of the tablet.
2. Using a lighter, light a tablet of dry fuel.
3. After some time, gray snakes will begin to “hatch” from the tablets.
4. Snakes are constantly increasing in size. Who would have thought that such small tablets could form such long snakes?
5. At some point, the snakes may unite into one giant snake.
Does the number of tablets affect the size and number of snakes?
2. Fill the flask one third full with hydrogen peroxide.
3. Add liquid soap inside the flask and mix the contents thoroughly.
4. Add a small amount of liquid dye inside and mix well.
5. Spread the oilcloth and place the flask with the solution on top of it.
6. Add a spoonful of potassium iodide inside the flask.
7. A large amount of colored foam will rush upward from the flask!
8. Pay attention, there is more and more foam!
Why do you think the foam has a yellowish tint?
Science is great!
