Terry Evanswood is Pigeon Forge's resident grand illusionist — his headline magic show at the Grand Majestic Theater is in its 27th season, with listings and reviews running through 2026. The films here are thinner than for the big dinner shows, because a magic act guards its secrets: what exists is a long, warm local-TV interview, a visitor who got pulled into a stage illusion, and the record of Evanswood's stranger second act — his own home in Sevierville, opened to the public as the Haunted Magic Mansion.

Mountain Fun Life's holiday interview is the page's core: Evanswood on his headline show, and on moonlighting in the same theater's other productions — he sings and dances in the 50s-and-60s Hit Parade and the Dukes of Hazzard parody, Hazard Hoedown. 'Sometimes I struggle: am I having more fun than anybody else?' The 1980s promo reel at the end of the page shows the act in its early form.
Part of the illusion
Amtrekker came to Pigeon Forge to be part of a stage illusion at Evanswood's earlier theater, Magic Beyond Belief, and got his moment — the closest thing to the act itself on film here. A walkthrough of his Hall of Magic, the magic-history exhibit at WonderWorks where a phone number on the wall lets Terry himself guide you by recording, connects his two Pigeon Forge footprints.

Two films tour the Haunted Magic Mansion — stated plainly: it is in SEVIERVILLE, the magician's own home turned public tour and seasonal haunt, whose first rule is to stay on the designated path. Treat it as this page's companion piece, not part of the theater show.
