Hi! I'm TIM
Comedy. Magic. Mindset Shifts for over 3 Decades
Hi, I’m Tim Gabrielson—a magician, comedian, keynote speaker, and storyteller with one simple mission: help people laugh more and live better.
From my first theme park gig in Minnesota to headlining at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, my career has always been about creating moments of joy, wonder, and connection. Over time, that journey grew into something bigger than entertainment—it became a way to help people shift perspectives, break free from negativity, and discover the good that’s already in front of them.
How it All Started
It all began when I was 13, during a family trip to Disneyland. A magician at Merlin’s Magic Shop handed me a disappearing sponge ball trick—and I was hooked. That spark turned into shows at a tiny theme park in Hinckley, Minnesota (yes, it was as small as it sounds), and eventually into a career performing at world-class venues like the House of Blues in Las Vegas.
But somewhere between the laughs, the applause, and the magic, I discovered something deeper: I could use entertainment as a tool to inspire lasting change.
What I Do Today
At the heart of my work is a simple but transformative message: Look for the Good.
Here’s how I bring it to life:
- Keynotes That Inspire — My signature keynote blends laugh-out-loud comedy, unbelievable magic, and practical tools to help teams build resilience, shift focus, and thrive.
- Interactive Workshops — Through my G.A.B.E. sessions, I guide participants in turning inspiration into action, creating cultures of gratitude, collaboration, and positivity.
Unforgettable Entertainment — My Keep It Funny show brings the energy of Vegas to your event, with nonstop laughter, jaw-dropping illusions, and moments your guests will talk about long after the lights go down.
Why It Matters
People rarely remember every trick or punchline. What they do remember is how they felt. That’s why my focus is simple: leave every audience more energized, connected, and inspired to see the good in themselves and the world around them.
Whether I’m speaking to business leaders, performing for a packed theater, or helping teams reset their mindset, my mission is the same: create lasting impact through laughter, magic, and perspective.
Let’s create something unforgettable together.
