The Incredible Boris a.k.a. Boris Cherniak is a multiple award winning comedian hypnotist, hypnotherapist, motivational speaker, actor and author.
He regularly appears on television showcasing incredible powers of hypnosis, power of positive thinking. Boris motivates and inspires. He appears in upwards of 300 live performances a year. Boris presents a comical point of view, while leaving a lasting impression and enlightening his audiences. His stage name, Incredible Boris, describes the sentiment of every performance literally - a positive attitude and constant state of mind. Boris delivers a powerful message of limitless possibilities.
Boris was born in Moscow, Russia on December 12, 1964. He came to Canada when he was 10 years old. As a child, he lived across the road from the Moscow Circus and was a regular fixture in the audience and backstage. He was mentored by world-famous clowns Yury Nikulin (Yury Nikulin's Moscow Circus) and Oleg Popov.
Boris started hypnotizing people at parties and get-togethers. Early on, friends provided ideas, which have evolved into dramatic and theatrical stage routines today. Boris' creativity and desire to succeed drove him to learn more and perform as much as he could. He continued gathering all available information about hypnosis, psychology and any other related subjects he could absorb the information from. York University, University of Toronto and Seneca College provided training in the fields of psychology and computers. Even though the two fields do not appear to be related, computer and mind programming are very similar, providing logical solutions to given instructions. Boris continues to learn and improve his knowledge. He is a certified hypnotist and hypnotherapist. His practice primarily encompasses the entertainment field and motivational team building events. Boris is a member of several hypnosis guilds and organisations. He is currently writing a motivational book that uses his life experiences to inspire the reader.
Initially, Boris used his first name only, similiar to other one-name performers. Eventually, after agents, promoters and club owners kept adding different adjectives, it was changed to Hypnotist The Incredible BORIS, which described the sentiment of the show more precisely. "Incredible" was used the most.
Music has been a large part of Boris' life. He is a child prodigy, having finished grade six of the Royal Conservatory of Music in flute and also proficient in six other musical instruments - guitar, saxophone, base, drums, piano and clarinet. That love for music is incorporated into the show today - music keeps the rapid pace between the never-ending laughter.
The show always delivers a positive message. The participants are treated with dignity and respect, while showcasing unlimited potential and immense powers of the mind. At the end of every show Boris gives positive suggestions to the participants and the audience as a thanks for their involvement. The show breaks ground and elevates the observer to a higher level of consciousness. The best way to learn is through laughter. Boris uses his trademarked catch phrase Let It Sync In ™ or Let It Sink In ™ to signify a suggestion given to the participants.
