Terry Evanswood - Beyond Belief Review
July 15, 2008
It is rare that I have the privilege of being an audience member. My chance came this past weekend on a trip to Pigeon Forge, TN for a small vacation. Among the many shows attended, including the Dixie Stampede and Comedy Barn, I definitely could not miss Terry Evanswood’s Beyond Belief magic show.
Due to my knowledge of magic, I will not go into too much detail about effects themselves. My main focus is on the overall experience of the show.
Our experience began with a late arrival due to heavy traffic. Upon arrival, we were greeted with smiling faces and taken to our seats. Terry was in the middle of interacting with the audience with humorous “Ancient Chinese Proverbs”. I was laughing before even taking my seat.
My hopes were that we had not missed the card manipulations. For 6 years, my focus in magic evolved around card productions and vanishes. To this day, Cardini remains one of my favorite performers.
To my enjoyment, a short introduction was made for the next set and Terry returned to the spotlight for his take on this wonderful form of magic. With my hands clasped together, I leaned forward as Terry produced multiple fans of cards as well as single cards, as I had expected.
The remainder of the show was filled with a pleasant blend of excitement and side hurting comedy with audience participation. There were moments of tears and goose bumps to accompany a beautiful levitation. To top it off, spectators were on the edge of their seats during a daring escape, only to be shocked with an unexpected surprise.
What I like most about Terry Evanswood’s Beyond Belief is the fact that he is a down to earth magician, entertainer and performer. While highly skilled in the art of magic, he treats his audience as an equal, as his friends.
I will gladly see his show again if I am in the area. If you are looking for a very entertaining evening of magic, comedy and good, clean fun, then you should make it a point to pay him a visit.

Got something to say?
I have gone to pigion forge several times and I wanted to see the magic show but my parent’s took me to the comedy barn instead. Now I wish I would have gone to the magic show.
I just wanted to add that next time your in the area give ma holla!
Terry is a great performer and an honorary lifetime member of our IBM ring. (ring 58)
He’s a great guy, down to earth as you said, and just really humble.
He performed for our convention and came out and just kind of talked to everyone in the audience as if i was the only person there.
I’m defintally happy is where he is!
Terry is my favorite magician to watch perform. His Card Manipulation is Brilliant, his showmanship very professional, and he is absolutely hilarious. He is also one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. You are also right about his Water Levitation, it induces goose bumps.
I have plans on going sometime this fall just to see his show.
If you are in the area, do not miss his Christmas show. Few things have inspired me more than this.
