Re: Trigger warnings for magic shows?
Strobe light warnings are standard for rock shows because some people are subject to seizures when exposed.

Re: Trigger warnings for magic shows?
Sadly, I suspect many magic show trigger warnings should read something like:
PLEASE BE ADVISED
This production contains:
Dumb jokes
Sexist behavior
Humiliation of Assistants
Sloppy technique
Stolen routines

I'm old enough I can remember when progressives thought that content warnings (CD's, videogames, etc.) were censorship.

May contain duckspeak, allusions to unapproved literature, and depictions of thoughtcrime.

Notice - as show souvenir seller?
Just a little short of Bob's fair warning notice there likely already is a market for items like this:
Magician Disclaimer signs about loss of stray thoughts, good ideas, time, and unattended rationality
Magic safety vests and safety tape. Tin foil hat liners for those who wish to keep secrets. Cognition protectors? Magicproof glasses (opaque)?
and "I can't believe it's not magic" advertising.
