About this event

Two Shows

6:30 PM – 7:30 PM

8:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Be a part of Salem’s close-up magic experience! Join an intimate audience and explore the limits of luck. Local magician Evan Northrup presents a collection of unforgettable illusions inspired by superstitions, intuition, and unlikely twists of fate.

Each seating is limited to a small number of audience members so that everyone is within a few feet of the magic. While there’s nothing inappropriate for younger audience members, this show has been designed for people over 18 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

“I am now a firm believer that magic happens!”

Boston Teachers Union

“Exquisitely responsive to the audience in front of you. You are a wonderful storyteller as well as a magician, drawing everyone in so we were laughing one moment, and in the next we were so rapt you could hear a pin drop.”

Incredibly Eloquent Audience Member!

Is the show scary?

Nope! There are no jump scares or “haunted house” moments. You can expect some incredible, interactive close up magic and perhaps some eerie coincidences; but we’re not here to scare you (there’s plenty of that in Salem already!)

Is this a seance?

No. This show is sleight of hand and performance magic! Some occult symbols may make an appearance (who doesn’t love Tarot Cards?), but we won’t be actively communicating with deceased folks or determining our futures… … probably.

Is there an age limit?

While there’s nothing inappropriate for younger audiences, this show has been specifically designed for people about 18 years old and over. We’ve had younger audiences members who are interested in magic or theater, and they’re able to participate, but this is NOT a magic show meant for kids!

Where is the show exactly?

Inside Professor Spindlewink’s World of Wizardry – in the heart of downtown Salem right on Essex Street! After the rest of the building closes down for the night, one room comes alive with magic! All you have to do is get to the main entrance and we’ll take it from there! 194 3/4 Essex Street, Salem

Thursday, October 19, 2023 from 6:30 -10 pm and Friday, October 20, 2023 from 6:30 -10 pm

Location: 128 Essex St., Salem
6:30–10 pm
Storytelling Experience
$35 members and Salem residents (with valid ID); $50 non-members

7–10 pm
Fireside Music & Magic
$25

Storytelling Experience tickets include timed entrance to PEM’s historic houses for storytelling, as well as access to fireside entertainment.
Fireside Music & Magic tickets include access to fireside entertainment only, and do not admit guests inside the historic houses.

This October, step into Salem’s dark past on a candlelit visit to PEM’s historic houses. Hear haunting tales of murder and mystery based on real events, told by storytellers dressed in period garb. To calm your beating heart, we’ll have warm drinks and bites available for purchase, like hotdogs, popcorn and baked goods from local favorite Ziggy’s. Plus, join us around the fire to warm up with fiddle music and hair-raising tricks from our roving magician.

Storytelling takes place inside three of PEM’s historic houses: the John Ward (1684), Quaker Meeting (about 1688), and Derby-Beebe Summer house (1799). On your journey, you’ll come face to face with the most dangerous nurse in New England, travel down a dark road prowled by a whistling highwayman and hear the confession of a girl who believes she’s being tormented by the specters of the Salem Witch Trials – with disastrous results for her neighbors. The storytelling experience lasts about 45 minutes.

These stories are intended for mature audiences and contain themes (mental illness, drug use, murder and suicide) that some may find disturbing. Discretion is advised.

GET TICKETS

Tickets are nonrefundable. Present your Haunted Histories ticket for $5 off general admission to PEM through Halloween. Guests must arrive 15 minutes prior to their ticketed time for Storytelling Experiences. Tickets are single-entry; guests are not permitted to leave and return except to seek out restroom facilities.

Please note: These historic properties are not wheelchair accessible and will require visitors to ascend several steps to get inside. Once inside, floors may be uneven and the space will be tight. Guests will need to stand while in the houses. Food and drink will be available for purchase but will not be allowed in the properties, and no restrooms are available on PEM property. Rain or shine, we’ll see you there!

Haunted Histories After Dark is held on Thursday, October 19, and on Friday, October 20.

This event is produced in collaboration with Creative Collective.
