For nearly three decades, award-winning illusionist Terry Evanswood has been weaving wonder in the Smoky Mountains. Now performing in his own intimate theater at Lumberjack Square, Terry welcomes guests of every age to an evening ...
Terry Evanswood has clearly mastered the art of intimate magic entertainment. With nearly 200 reviews and a stellar reputation, visitors consistently praise his sleight of hand skills and elaborate illusions. The newly designed theater is small enough that every seat offers a great view, creating a personal atmosphere that many compare favorably to Las Vegas shows. Terry and his team (including Amy and Ryan, who get regular shout-outs) make a point of mingling with guests during intermission and sticking around for photos afterward, which adds to the welcoming family vibe. What really stands out is the high number of repeat visitors and multi-generational appeal. Several reviewers mention returning year after year, with one fan claiming 18+ years of attendance. The show balances impressive magic with humor and constant audience participation, though one couple noted they would have preferred more tricks and less talking. Kids genuinely seem to love it, and several honeymooners and couples highlighted it as a vacation standout. As Pigeon Forge's longest-running magic show, Terry has clearly figured out how to deliver consistently memorable evenings.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed the show. It was funny, magical & an escape from everyday life realities. Everyone was pleasant & helpful. Terry interacts with the crowd in a way to make you feel like family. We can't wait to go back to Tennessee & do the tour of his house. Terry & his crew are a delight!
