U of T Review of the Show
By Johanna Kristolaitis

There was plenty of entertainment set up for the incoming students this year. In conjunction with the Carnival put on by the Students’ Administrative Council (SAC) on Tuesday September 7, several acts put on a show under a tent in parking lot 8, organized by Vibe Radio.

...

The Incredible Boris was the main and final act of the night; his hypnotic introduction put many audience members out while drawing more under the tent and into the show. Eight of the hypnotized audience members acted out scenarios under Boris’s guidance to hilarious effect. From a white water rafting trip down the Colorado River to the world’s greatest conga line to a talk-show hosted by Arnold Schwarzenegger and featuring Britney Spears, Eminem and Michael Jackson, the whole show was too funny for words, partly thanks to the one-liners of Thom Rosseel, first-year Theatre student, who spent most of the show as Chip.

Before Boris brought his participants back to full consciousness, he planted healthy hypnotic suggestions like eating well, quitting smoking and stressing less.

“It’s a thank you from me for their participation,” Boris said after the show. “They give up their self-control for entertainment, so this gives them a positive reason they did it.”
