Boris demonstrates the powers of the mind by guiding a group of hapless volunteers through a hypnotic session where they experience everything from forgetting how to speak to finding themselves on a game show.

Boris is an award-winning performer that travels worldwide and has appeared at venues ranging from schools, corporate functions, theatre, fairs, headlining in Las Vegas, to entertaining troops in Afghanistan and Kuwait. Boris motivates and inspires, while leaving a lasting impression. His stage name, The 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 as part of a hilarious interactive performance.
