Everyone is magic. But most folks just don’t know it. It’s quite disappointing, but it’s not their fault. Stuck in naive materialism - they’ve lost their childish sense of wonder. And that's where Trenton enters the story.

>> I was an avid Snapchat user. Primarily because I was able to directly connect with my closest of friends. [One word is good, Trenton.] I loved the idea that you can send a message or video and it would 'vanish’.[Hey Trenton, just need one word.] Once I developed the courage and overcame my conspiracy anxiety; or maybe grew strength in shrugging my shoulders over the fact that I'm truly limited on my privacy. [Trenton! This is a one word answer.] I've transitioned over to Instagram as it's a different feeling of interface and its more of a want-full demand.[Just name one - Insta or Snap?] So, Instagram. But, I miss Snapchat. [Hah, finally!]

Interview Part 2: coming in APRIL, 2020
Feb 1, 2020
(chuckle, chuckle) This is a great question. What is? It is but of light. It is like a path of water moving with great force. Trenton Caine truly is the first of his name. The brand incorporates passion with compassion. A ball of energy with light glowing from it charming yet strangely and intriguingly distant. The brand focuses on bringing light into peoples lives through empathy, conscious consideration of others.
The personality trait that has gotten me into most trouble so far, I believe, is my natural way of charm. I was liked by everybody growing up (although I didn't see it that way).
In my honest opinion, I believe there were many who felt my kindness was a sign of weakness and my charm was threatening. Lets just say there were a few times where I had some run-in's with throwing bows.
Technically those would be my secrets and I'd prefer not to give them away. However, I have found that sincere kindness can get you a long way.
[C'mon you're on CWC (shameless plug)! What's a secret one of your mentors told you, that you can pass on?]
Its important that we make ourselves available to receive help from others as well as making ourselves available.
Also, I have to say, get in the habit of writing a thank you card and telling people that you appreciate their time.
My superpower is to enrapture audiences.
[I had to look this up, definition below:
enrapture::
inˈrapCHər, enˈrapCHər |
verb [with object] give intense pleasure or joy to: We were enraptured by Trenton's closeup table magic.]
There has been a lot of opportunities for me to focus on different aspects of my life.
Lately, my internal focus has been recognizing that I am capable of succeeding - learning to listen to myself.
Professionally, I'll be retiring my strolling magic routine, i.e. the current routine I've spent 15 years on. I'm currently working on levitations, mentalism styles of magic as well as slide of hand.
To complement my Magic, I am working on a public speaking endeavor which I'll tell you more about on our next conversation.
Stage time for a variety of audiences would be priceless.
You can practice all you want - but without stage time you can't do magic in the true sense.
Simply put, I need a stage.
[How does one book you? Any exclusive CWC discount?]

The story around my next routine. It will be around the message of magic. The evolution of my character as a performer.
[Wow, that's deep - can't wait to see it.]
Behind the scenes with Trenton Caine.
I've learned that writing out tasks is a way for me to overcome those bad days, and when I mean tasks, I mean that I go back to the basics.
I'll get up in the morning and immediately begin exercising or stretching my body followed by 7-10 minutes of meditation.
Finally I'll force myself to go on a walk outside or call a close friend and ask them to either take me out or make me food.
I find that being cared for or having a meal cooked for me and being in company with my close friends greatly enhances my mood.
I also take the time to discuss what is going on. Talking things through really helps me look at the bigger picture - it brings things into perspective no matter how hard the initial (constructive) criticism appears to be.
