The Wonders of Magic
Headlined by
internationally-recognized magician, Terry Evanswood, The Wonders of Magic will
leave the whole family spellbound during this spectacular, all new magic show
featuring world-famous illusions, thrills, suspense and more!
Featuring a death-defying
escape that would make Harry Houdini proud, this show is designed to take
audiences to the edge of reality and beyond. Always interactive,
Evanswood invites audience members to manacle him in locks and chains leaving
him only 30-seconds to escape a 36-inch, whirling, solid steel, buzz saw
descending to its final impact. Will he escape?
Celebrating 17 years of
providing awe and wonderment to the millions of people he’s entertained,
Evanswood is the longest-running headline performer in Pigeon Forge, a widely
popular, must-see tourist destination in the foothills of Great Smoky Mountains
National Park and within a one-day drive of most major cities in the eastern
United States. Complimented by a talented cast, Evanswood is one of the
most outstanding performers in the industry and is one of a very select group
of artists to ever earn a “Merlin,” a highly sought-after award given only to
the most elite magicians. Other notables to receive the Merlin include David
Copperfield and Siegfried & Roy.
Designed for audiences of all
ages, Wonders of Magic features never before seen illusions, from the intimacy
of award winning sleight-of-hand illusions, to mind-boggling grand illusions
and beyond. Audience members witness a tribute of Titanic proportions as a
woman defies gravity as she floats off a water fountain ten feet above the
stage and watch as Evanswood, highlighting the uniqueness of the Smoky
Mountains, recreates on stage one of the area’s most famous events – the dance
of the summer fireflies. Every summer only in the Smokies, thousands of
fireflies light, in unison, and illuminate the darkened foothills of East
Tennessee – a phenomenon unexplainable by science. Evanswood highlights this
natural dance of light event in a way only he can create and an illusion only
seen during Wonders of Magic.
During every performance,
Terry shares a heartfelt message about hope, love and the reminder of the real
“Wonders” of the magical world we all share together.
Affordable entertainment for
all ages – Only $14.99 per person
