“Jim Gentil is an Austin speaker who has traveled the world and a magician and author who brought laughter, magic and introspection into both his TAAE keynote presentations. Jim’s combination of talents was simply spellbinding, funny, and always accomplished with a positive message about human behavior. Jim talked while he preformed magic, and while he preformed magic he worked magic on the heart and soul. The audience paid close attention, afraid they might not only miss his message but his magical displays. His audience participation was “classroom” at times and sometimes simply for fun. Both presentations were different, and everyone walked away glad they had participated in both his events.”

“I have met with many of the employees that attended the dinner and all were moved by what you had to say! Your lighthearted humor, incredible magic, uplifting stories and positive message was a real treat! I know almost everyone at the dinner signed up to receive your newsletter. Looking for speakers to address hospital employees from across the spectrum is not an easy task. Ensuring that the message is meaningful to all is a challenge at best. You more than filled the bill and we would certainly recommend you to others.”

“The American Business Women’s Association had the awesome experience of hearing a remarkable speaker, Jim Gentil. Jim gave an interesting, informative, educational and fun presentation. This unique message stays with you long after his presentation is over. He uses humor to discuss how small changes in your life can make a dramatic impact and follows with a magic trick to help you remember the change. We highly recommend Jim as an entertaining, motivational speaker.”

“On behalf of all the employees, I would like to thank you for being our Keynote speaker at our recent safety recognition dinners. You were certainly a key part of two successful meetings. Your talk on “Hanging Loose in an Uptight World” was both entertaining and thought provoking. It was obvious to me and the audience that this is a subject you are enthusiastic about and able to present effectively. We would like to keep you in mind for future speaking engagements.”

“Your presentation at our annual awards banquet was extremely fitting. Everyone in attendance benefited from your thought-provoking program. Your program can make a great contribution to a person’s attitude being positive. We need more of this type of thinking in general and among managers and salesmen in particular. Keep up the good work. I’m having a fantastic, great super, terrific, wonderful day because I agree with our message.
