About

  • The Salem Haunted Magic Show began in 2010 with its debut performances. At that time we only did about 17 shows across the whole month of October. Now 14 years later, we do a minimum of 60 performances and open our show in September, ending in November. We've always been a small operation, mostly family and close friends work with us to make each year's production something different and special. We're now in our 14th year in Salem and continue to be the biggest and most frequented magic show! ​ Every year we design a completely new show! In 2017 we focused on phobias and the things that scare us the most. In 2016, our direction was to highlight the bizarre and often scary history around mental asylums. Each time, we construct our show, we intentionally craft messages and lessons about the subject at hand. In 2014 we did an entire show just on the negatives and manipulative techniques of fraudulent psychic mediums. We demonstrate various techniques and routines that give the audience a first-hand look at sometimes ancient techniques that people still use today to con and scam innocent people. ​ No matter when you come to our show you will always see new and interesting material focused around one particular theme. In fact, you could see our show in 2024 on Friday and watch it again on Saturday and see a totally different show!

That's not because we change material, far from it. Our shows have always been highly interactive and we thrive on getting audience members involved in the show.
