Tony Quinn (businessman)
Tony Quinn (born 7 February 1946) is an Irish businessman, yoga entrepreneur, mind coach and cult leader who founded the Educo Cult.
Quinn was born in Arbour Hill in inner-city Dublin. Quinn left school early and was a salesman for HB Ice Cream. At the age of 17, he was an apprentice butcher in Phibsborough and then a bouncer at Club Go Go on Dame Street in Dublin.
In the 1970s, he established communes in Templeogue and Howth where members were often on limited pay.
In 1978, the News Of The World confronted Quinn with his claims he could cure cancer. They made him aware of the UK's Cancer Act 1939, which states "No person shall take part in the publication of any advertisement containing an offer to treat any person for cancer." Quinn responded "I wasn't aware of that. It was a genuine mistake". In 2006 a follower of Quinn who operated an Educogym in Glasgow repeated the assertion that Quinn could cure cancer.
Quinn has been variously described as a yogi, "fitness expert", "health guru", "business guru", "mind trainer","mind coach", "saviour", "visionary", "hypnotist" and "cult leader".
He became well known in Ireland as a hypnotherapist and "mind trainer" for professional boxer Steve Collins before being sacked after 3 fights. Collins told Sky Sports "We fooled the world", and also stated in his autobiography he said "We've fooled him", after his first fight with hypnotherapist Quinn as advisor. Collins later said of Quinn that he was someone who helped him on his way but he was inferior when compared to other hypnotists.
Educo is categorised as a "Human Potential Group" and "Therapy / Counseling Group" by the Cult Education Institute.
In 2009, Sunday World journalist Nicola Tallant reported on the contents of video footage obtained by the newspaper of an Educo Seminar and stated "In the tape Quinn claims that he is able to programme children to ensure they have a much better future, claiming he uses the same techniques that Hitler used to programme children to carry out acts of genocide and Hamas use to create suicide bombers from kindergarten children." The Sunday World stated on the tape Quinn says "Children, if you realise, are almost like sponge. Their minds are sensitive and you can put programmes into children’s minds"
