Trino describes his act as one that

commingles comedy and theatrical feats alongside a backdrop of popular music, presenting an energetic and modern take on the ancient art of illusion.

See Trino Perform Magic

If you're looking for a sneak peek at his magic, Trino has some tricks on his YouTube channel.

This trick, which appears to have been filmed on the riverfront in Grand Rapids below the Blue Bridge shows a smashed can become whole and filled.

Now this trick I love. Filmed for Central/Western Weekend several years ago, CMU alum Trino shows off his quick change skills. Flabbergasted former Chippewa coach John Bonamego spots Trino's WMU bronco apparel only to watch him swap out to much more appealing Chip gear.

Too bad the magic didn't extend any further into Kalamazoo, as the Bronco outlasted the Chips that year in a high scoring 41-39 shootout during PJ Fleck's 3rd season with WMU.

Get to know Trino a bit more from this profile from WOOD-TV's 8West:
