OP’s Visit from Comic Magician Tim Gabrielson

On Tuesday, April 25th, the students of Oratory were visited by Tim Gabrielson, a comic magician. He entertained students with mesmerizing magic tricks and funny stunts, all the while tying them in with an influential message at the end. He began with basic tricks such as turning a bouncy ball into an egg and a bottle of ketchup into a tomato. Then, through much more complex tricks starring students such as Paul Kellam, Patrick Tobin, and myself (Carlo Lutero), Tim showed Oratory that all it takes to make one’s day is laughter. Whether it be through magic tricks or simple pranks, laughter has the power to change moods for the better — hence his motto: “keep it funny”.
