A close-up magic show where the audience takes their fates in their hands. Are you feeling lucky? Misfortune is an hour-long theatrical magic show conjured by magician Evan Northrup. Set in Salem, Massachusetts, it walks the eerie line between superstition and luck — blending immersive storytelling with astonishing sleight-of-hand. It is mysterious, a little spooky, and always magical and fun. Seating is kept intentionally small, so the wonder happens close enough to touch. While there's nothing inappropriate for younger audience members, this show has been designed for people over 13 years old. WHAT PEOPLE SAY: “Your show was AMAZING! We had so much fun and were mystified. Can't wait for you to be back in Salem to be dazzled once again.” Kim Driscoll, Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts “We had a certain expectation for a magician. Not only did you deliver, you went above and beyond. You brought a life to the show that was felt by all.” Don MacLean, Regional VP of Operations, Kings Dining and Entertainment
