Hi! I'm TIM
Transforming Lives with Laughter for Over 3 Decades
Hi, I’m Tim Gabrielson—a magician, comedian, keynote speaker, and storyteller with a passion for making people laugh and helping them see life from a brighter perspective. From my first magic gig at a theme park in Minnesota to headlining at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, my journey has always been about creating moments of joy, wonder, and connection. But my career has evolved into something much deeper than entertainment. Today, I’m privileged to use my unique blend of humor, magic, and inspiration to empower individuals and teams to overcome challenges, shift their mindsets, and unlock their full potential.
How it All Started
My love for magic began when I was 13 years old, during a family trip to Disneyland. A visit to the legendary Merlin’s Magic Shop introduced me to a disappearing sponge ball trick that changed everything. What started as a hobby quickly became a passion, leading to my first performances at Mission Creek Theme Park in Hinckley, Minnesota (yes, it’s as small as it sounds). That spark eventually turned into a career, and before I knew it, I was performing at iconic venues like the House of Blues in Las Vegas. Along the way, I realized my true calling: using the tools of entertainment to leave a lasting impact on people’s lives.
What I Do Today
At the heart of my work is a simple but transformative message: Look for the Good. Whether it’s during a keynote, breakout session, or comedy show, my goal is always the same—to help people break free from negative cycles, embrace gratitude, and create positive change.
Here’s how I do it:
Keynotes That Inspire:
My signature keynote, Look for the Good, combines laughter, magic, and actionable strategies to help teams build resilience, shift perspectives, and thrive in the face of challenges.
Interactive Workshops:
With my G.A.B.E. breakout sessions, I guide participants through hands-on exercises that turn inspiration into meaningful action, fostering a culture of gratitude, positivity, and collaboration.
Unforgettable Entertainment:
My Keep It Funny show brings the energy and excitement of Las Vegas to your event, leaving audiences amazed, laughing, and inspired.
Why It Matters
Over the years, I’ve learned that what people remember most isn’t the magic tricks or jokes (though those are fun)—it’s the way they feel afterward. I’m here to create experiences that energize, connect, and inspire people to see the good in themselves and the world around them.
Whether I’m speaking to a room of business leaders, performing for a packed theater, or working with teams to reset their mindsets, my mission remains the same: to leave people with a fresh perspective, a sense of gratitude, and the tools to make lasting changes in their lives.
