Magician buys oldest home in Sevier County, opens it as haunted tour
SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - The oldest home in Sevier County has been purchased by resident magician, Terry Evanswood, and is now open for tours.
The minute you step inside the home of Terry Evanswood, you’ll realize you’re in a world of illusions, now he’s combined magic with Halloween.
“It’s one of my favorite times of the season, so this is an opportunity for me to really haunt a real haunted house. People always ask is the house haunted it definitely it is haunted. But now it’s theatrically haunted,” said Evanswood.
Crashes of thunder when you walk in, moving pictures on the walls and things that just fly by.

“Also, everything the house is original period style from the 1880′s, 1890′s. Things I’ve been collecting over the years, so all the furniture is unique to this time period,” he said.
So, how does he know its haunted? In the time he’s lived here, the house has given him surprises.
“This rolling pin, that’s a pretty amazing story. I popped the floorboard off in the kitchen to redo that as I’ve been restoring the house and that rolled right out into my hands is like a gift from the house,” he said. “Welcome to the dining room here at Magic Mansion. All these rooms are featured on the regular house tour. But for Halloween, you’ll be passing through the majority of the house tour rooms to find all the secret passageways and the special effects and all the illusions that I’ve been able to mix into this theme.”

“Blood and guts and that sort of thing. I think we get enough of that every day. It’s what I would refer to as a classy haunted house. It’s not terrifying,” He said.
Evanswood has started doing year-round tours of the home, but this week he’s got a little extra with the Halloween themes going on.

Reviews for "Terry Evanswood's Magic Mansion: An Unforgettable Entertainment Experience"
1. Samantha - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with my experience at Terry Evanswood Magic Mansion. The magic show itself was underwhelming and lacked any real wow factor. The tricks were predictable and didn't leave me feeling amazed or entertained. Additionally, the venue itself was outdated and in need of some serious renovations. The seats were uncomfortable and the overall atmosphere was bland. I wouldn't recommend this magic show to anyone looking for a truly mesmerizing experience.
2. Jonathan - 1/5 stars - My visit to the Terry Evanswood Magic Mansion was a complete waste of time and money. The magician's performance was lackluster and he seemed unenthusiastic throughout the show. The tricks were cliché and I could easily tell how they were done. The props and set design were outdated and it felt like I had stepped into a time capsule from the 1980s. Overall, I was extremely disappointed and won't be returning or recommending this magic show to anyone.
3. Emily - 2/5 stars - I had high expectations for the Terry Evanswood Magic Mansion based on the reviews I read, but unfortunately, it fell short. The magic tricks were subpar and didn't leave a lasting impression. The pacing of the show was off, with awkward pauses and unnecessary banter between tricks. The venue itself felt cramped and uncomfortable, making it difficult to fully enjoy the show. I was hoping for a magical and immersive experience, but instead, I left feeling underwhelmed.
4. Greg - 2/5 stars - The Terry Evanswood Magic Mansion was not what I expected. The tricks were basic and didn't offer anything new or innovative. I found myself easily guessing how the illusions were performed, which took away the element of surprise. The lack of audience engagement made the show feel dull and uninteresting. The venue itself was in need of a facelift and the overall ambiance was uninspiring. I wouldn't recommend this magic show to anyone seeking a memorable and awe-inspiring experience.
