Born to Banglori parents, Mecci was raised in Sudbury, Ontario but calls Toronto home now. His interest in hypnotism began when his friend\u2019s sunburn was cured by a dentist who used hypnosis in his practice.<\/p>\n

Dubbed a gypsy by his close friends, Mecci lives out of his suitcase as he travels the globe enthralling audiences. To date, he\u2019s performed live in front of more than 1.5 million people. He has appeared on several popular television stations, including MTV and the BBC, on SiriusXM, on national television shows, including Inside the Box<\/em>, and he\u2019s been featured in publications like The New York Times<\/em>, The Times of London<\/em> and The Guardian<\/em>.<\/p>\n

His current two-man show, HYPROV (improvisation under hypnosis), hypnotises 20 audience members in 10 minutes. Once the volunteers are hypnotised Mecci and improv legend Colin Mochrie use the power of suggestion to make subjects a part of an improv extravaganza. HYPROV captivated a solid global following since showing to sold-out audiences at Just for Laughs London, Just for Laughs Montreal and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the largest performing arts festival in the world.<\/p>\n

But entertaining audiences isn\u2019t all Mecci does. Major corporations bring him in as an expert consultant to motivate employees. In his role as a mental strength coach, he\u2019s also taught Olympic athletes to use visualization and mental imagery to enhance their abilities. Along with two-time Olympic figure skater Brian Orser, Mecci developed the Peak Performance Skating app which has been used by gold medalist Yuzuru Hanyu, world champion Javier Fern\u00e1ndez and world junior champion Nam Nguyen. As part of his plans for 2018 he will be joining forces again with comedian Colin Mochrie to enthrall audiences globally with more HYPROV show dates.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1510594317860{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]\n
