946: Trigg Watson - Staying Ahead of the Tech Curve

<figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > While at this year’s Magic At The Beach convention in Myrtle Beach, SC, one of the magicians who performed was my friend Trigg Watson. Trigg has performed on America’s Got Talent [sic], Penn &amp; Teller Fool Us, Masters of Illusion, just to mention a few of the television shows where he has appeared. He prefers performing in theaters where he has access to a large stage, a stage crew, and a strong Wi-Fi. He is best known for his avant garde performances employing high tech that is on the leading edge. He finds ways to present new technology in an entertaining way that looks like real magic. Throughout the ages, magicians have been in the forefront of using “modern” technology in their magic acts, but it is getting increasingly more difficult in today’s world with our rapid communication. Everyone is getting “up to speed” much faster than in earlier times. <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="dark" href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/514e3e26e4b023ca28fd5cc8/1764613264312-JQZJ3UO5GTNNDLRFVVUU/AGT.jpg" role="button" aria-label="" class=" image-slide-anchor js-gallery-lightbox-opener content-fill " > View fullsize <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="dark" href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/514e3e26e4b023ca28fd5cc8/1764613264376-5ANNBERTQFK410641CAO/AI+of+Trigg.jpg" role="button" aria-label="" class=" image-slide-anchor js-gallery-lightbox-opener content-fill " > View fullsize <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="dark" href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/514e3e26e4b023ca28fd5cc8/1764613265332-UH2GBKYQI24TMZ0GB37Q/behind+the+curtain.jpg" role="button" aria-label="" class=" image-slide-anchor js-gallery-lightbox-opener content-fill " > View fullsize <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="dark" href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/514e3e26e4b023ca28fd5cc8/1764613280199-S54UH86TV96YR361T6GJ/Masters.jpg" role="button" aria-label="" class=" image-slide-anchor js-gallery-lightbox-opener content-fill " > View fullsize <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="dark" href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/514e3e26e4b023ca28fd5cc8/1764613265666-HBZT5X4W85Z2CZ546IK6/big+screen.jpg" role="button" aria-label="" class=" image-slide-anchor js-gallery-lightbox-opener content-fill " > View fullsize <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="dark" href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/514e3e26e4b023ca28fd5cc8/1764613280238-AP58JXPKJ03PBPKMM4QV/Merlin+Award.jpg" role="button" aria-label="" class=" image-slide-anchor js-gallery-lightbox-opener content-fill " > View fullsize <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="dark" href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/514e3e26e4b023ca28fd5cc8/1764613294022-RF4J2FMNJTE53KAXLO0I/streamer.jpg" role="button" aria-label="" class=" image-slide-anchor js-gallery-lightbox-opener content-fill " > View fullsize <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="dark" href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/514e3e26e4b023ca28fd5cc8/1764613266302-TXYB2NF616IC0NG1G9MJ/family+and+friends+award+show.jpg" role="button" aria-label="" class=" image-slide-anchor js-gallery-lightbox-opener content-fill " > View fullsize <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="dark" href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/514e3e26e4b023ca28fd5cc8/1764613281342-Q31B0FRF7O218AZCZKM1/Monday+NIght+Magic.jpg" role="button" aria-label="" class=" image-slide-anchor js-gallery-lightbox-opener content-fill " > View fullsize <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="dark" href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/514e3e26e4b023ca28fd5cc8/1764613383040-YF798HFVODMX6QR7NY89/Screenshot+2025-12-01+at+11-19-45+Instagram.png" role="button" aria-label="" class=" image-slide-anchor js-gallery-lightbox-opener content-fill " > View fullsize <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="dark" href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/514e3e26e4b023ca28fd5cc8/1764613294175-5HP2QKODUI5XJZQS5Z7B/television.jpg" role="button" aria-label="" class=" image-slide-anchor js-gallery-lightbox-opener content-fill " > View fullsize <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="dark" href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/514e3e26e4b023ca28fd5cc8/1764613383273-ESMQEU7CZ83I30BP1XFP/Screenshot+2025-12-01+at+11-20-33+Instagram.png" role="button" aria-label="" class=" image-slide-anchor js-gallery-lightbox-opener content-fill " > View fullsize <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="dark" href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/514e3e26e4b023ca28fd5cc8/1764613405702-B0IZ6U8PC1IAYDNBVKGF/Screenshot+2025-12-01+at+11-18-42+Instagram.png" role="button" aria-label="" class=" image-slide-anchor js-gallery-lightbox-opener content-fill " > View fullsize <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="dark" href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/514e3e26e4b023ca28fd5cc8/1764613384459-IDMJCVYC733LRZPU0LZH/Screenshot+2025-12-01+at+11-20-55+Instagram.png" role="button" aria-label="" class=" image-slide-anchor js-gallery-lightbox-opener content-fill " > View fullsize This week Trigg Watson shares his philosophy behind his act and how he keeps up with modern trends. He also discusses social trends and how media and magic has (and will) change. He always seems to keep his magic “fresh” meaning that he has to keep on the leading edge of technology before the rest of his audience has gotten there.
