The Magic of Terry Evanswood

Why go: Terry Evanswood has performed in Pigeon Forge for 30 years, and his new purpose-built theater puts you closer to the grand illusions, sleight of hand, and Houdini-style escapes than any previous venue could.

About The Magic of Terry Evanswood

Terry Evanswood has been the longest-running headliner in Pigeon Forge, performing continuously in the area for 30 seasons. A Merlin Award winner and lifetime member of the International Magicians Society, Evanswood earned his reputation as a teenager by becoming one of the youngest performers ever to appear at Hollywood’s famous Magic Castle and later earned the endorsement of David Copperfield.

His show at the Evanswood Magic Theater brings together the full range of his craft: grand-scale illusions, sleight of hand, Houdini-style escapes, impersonations, comedy, music, and genuine audience participation. The theater sits in Lumberjack Square on the Parkway, just behind Paula Deen’s Lumberjack Feud, and was designed specifically for this show. The intimate space means there is no bad seat in the house.

The show runs approximately two hours and is suitable for all ages. Children under 3 are admitted free with a paying adult when seated on a lap.

Why Choose The Magic of Terry Evanswood

Pigeon Forge has no shortage of live entertainment, but a few things separate this show from the field.

• 30 seasons in Pigeon Forge. No other headliner in the area has performed here continuously for as long. That longevity is a signal of consistent quality, not just nostalgia.
• His own purpose-built theater. After years performing in shared venues, Evanswood now performs in a space designed around his show. Sight lines and proximity to the stage are maximized throughout.
• Merlin Award pedigree. The Merlin Award is the magic industry’s equivalent of an Emmy, presented by the International Magicians Society. Evanswood holds one, placing him in a select company of performers worldwide.
• Genuine mix of styles. The show combines close-up sleight of hand, large-scale illusions, comedy, and escape artistry in a single two-hour performance rather than focusing on one format.
