Comedy Hypnotist | The Incredible Boris | TEDxYouth@Toronto

wonderful people are gonna come and join me right here on the stage how are you folks it's a pleasure to be here I thank you very much and just go ahead and sit down though right here next to each other we'll get back to them very very shortly now let me introduce yourself my name is Boris I am a hypnotist and we'll get to the hypnosis part very very shortly but what I want you to do is actually think and think of your mind as a computer because a mind literally it is programmed the way you are from the moment you are born from the people you are around they all tell you how to be how to act and by the way of thinking you yourself become that person that became here today and it's kind of funny because the mind is divided into two parts so the conscious and the subconscious and the conscious part is just like what I told you about the computer it's a computer that became cognitive it became self-aware so you have become that person by being self-aware and the conscious is the reasoning it actually processes all the information that's coming at you and makes you work because you're actually reasoning figuring okay that got to go through but the subconscious just stands in the back and says okay I'll take everything blindly and takes all of the suggestions in somewhere along the lines actually I'm sure you probably heard somebody tell you that we only use 10% of our mind and repeated enough times this urban myth is actually believed to be true because the mind actually has a purpose for everything that it does whether it's 10% 90% there's different parts of the mind that work on different things but what if you were able to reprogram your own mind through self-talk through repetition through all of the different things that you do with yourself and I came up with that term it's called the prophetic thinking that's just like a prophecy something that you think about tends to be true and when you were a little kid the first word that you ever learned is the word no and everybody says no no no no what if you're able to say yes what if you don't put the limitations around yourself but actually do something and there's four words simple four words that you can say to yourself daily on a regular basis and by those words or I can do anything so anything that you put your mind to you actually can achieve and in an inspiration for doing this I actually went to the Ted site and it was kind of neat because it says had ideas worth spreading and right next to it there's a cute lo Lloyd tiny asterisks the red asterisk that means that there's something else I went looking for that something else and what I did find is underneath ideas were spreading next to the asterisk so I like a virus but with inspiration instead of sneezing so I wanted to find out a little bit more so I am a hypnotist with a little bit of a sense of humor so that means Ted people have a sense of humor too so I want to introduce you to the people that I have already pre hypnotized because all it is you are programmed and as a head and as all I am is a wordsmith that is able to speed up the process to get to the point much faster with just one word and that word is sleep so you can actually achieve the result whether you realize it or not but I'm able to I have no supernatural powers I just know how to get from point A to point B let's get ourselves introduced for the demonstration sake and everyone wide awake why do we now let's meet our good friend and let me find out who you are you are Darren Darren great to have you up here definitely Darren my name is Boris

pleasure to have you here stand right over here we are ready to play my job is to give you the rules before we got to start taping and all that kind of stuff we will give you a multiple choice question with four answers a B C or D we have to care to hear the actual letter a B C or D the answer and then it's not final so that means you can talk all you like but as soon as you say the words final answer you are locked in is that all right now let you answer into the microphone yeah absolutely now you still have two lifelines left you can either use the 50/50 you can I have the computer take away two wrong answers or you can pull the wonderful audience right here at Ted and I you know before we start do me a favor I will stand right next to you there's a camera right over there we
