The art of booking a party is timeless. Here is an updated checklist. “Holiday entertainment planning is a serious business – a lot happens behind the scenes, long before the CEO says thanks for a job well-done”, says Incredible BORIS (Boris Cherniak). Around this time of the year, human resources managers, entertainment committees and company CEOs are asking the age-old question - How do we make our holiday event an affair to remember? After all, we are simply trying to thank the employees, suppliers and their families for a job well done throughout the year. We also want this event to motivate the group to be happy and productive in the future. This is a more difficult task that may appear. “The people planning functions have an enormous task of fitting into the ever-shrinking budgets while keeping party-goers excited about attending the event,” says Boris Cherniak, corporate event planning professional, comedy hypnotist entertainer and motivational speaker. Here is a helpful checkli...

A while back I got a chance to be a part of something special. The Maury show contacted me to be a part of a series that deals with odd, extreme and unusual fears and phobias - I would be able to help people, but most importantly show others that help is available. The show format is simple – guests first talk about their fears. Then, whatever they are terrified of is then brought out so that they can face their extreme fears for the last time - at this point they usually run away (all around the set) from whatever terrifies them. Maury introduces me after the confrontations take place, and I spend time with these people in a private studio or a green room to help eliminate their fears. We then return to the set to show their irrational fears gone or drastically diminished in front of a studio audience. Is this real or a set up? They are not actors, just folks with a fear who turned to a TV show to get help. Thanks to them, others in the same situation get to find out that they are not...

I am on my way back from Dubai where I entertained at the Women as Global Leaders conference. The event was a fantastic extravaganza that can only be described as magical. His Excellency Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan is the mastermind behind this remarkable event and I commend him being a visionary and a forward thinker. Royalty and many world dignitaries were in attendance, including Helen Thomas, first lady of the press at the White House, Don Johnson, star of Miami Vice, Carol Bellamy, Unicef, Mary Sue Coleman, Dr. Hubertus Hoffmann, world security foundation among many others. I followed an address by Sarah Ferguson and Jane Fonda. My presentation was so successful, I was asked to do a 'by popular demand' performance the same night following the most extravagant dinner. I did all different material and was given more time on stage. My show followed a spectacular video and laser light presentation that delivered a message of leadership and peace. In fact everyone in the ...

Last week I taped an episode of JR Digs' talk show. I am told it airs May 19 on CH TV and Global TV networks throughout Canada. It is an unusual talk show with a host, JR Digs, whose boundless energy carries the storyline, which is created live on the spot. Jr Digs has surrounded himself with characters that if met separately could terrify and amaze - biker playing guitar, always-smiling happy man, motormouth brit, choose-their-words-carefully storyteller, lady with huge hair and many others. I found them all delightful and intriguing. I found some overbearing, while others subdued, but all the nicest people you may ever encounter. The best way I can describe them is that each was a character, that if written on a page of a book would be difficult to believe, yet all were alive, vibrant people whose personalities shined. JR Digs is a character himself, who cares deeply about the final product, has quick wit and will do anything to have his audience thoroughly entertained. The name ...

I am sitting at the airport once again. This time I am at Laguardia in New York. I am coming back home after filming an hour of the Maury show. The theme is the hugely popular 'fears and phobias', where people face their fears and then get help. I am the hypnotist that helps people overcome their fears. No idea when it airs, but look for it out shortly. The stories of the people were very compelling. I had a great time and got a chance to help people with their problems. The weather was amazing and I enjoyed strolling through Times Square at night with a milkshake in hand. The taping finished early enough for me to go to the theatre and see Hairspray, which was absolutely delightful. I have found a new favorite New York restaurant - China Grill, where all the food is meant to be shared and tastes out of this world.
