MISFORTUNE: Salem's Parlor
Magic Experience

Are you feeling lucky? Join in on Salem’s parlor magic experience!

“Misfortune” is the perfect Halloween magic show created by Salem magician Evan Northrup. It explores the eerie world of superstitions and (un)luckiness. This is an interactive performance in an intimate theatrical space where audience members become a part of the show through their participation. Come see how lucky (or unlucky) you are in this unforgettable magical experience.

While the show isn’t a scary performance at all, it is designed for primarily adults and older children, so we recommend ages 13+.

Who are we?

The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice.

‘Who are you?’ said the Caterpillar.

We are designers of magical spaces...

…perpetually curious artists who are constantly searching for answers to impossible questions.

WHAT

The Vanishing Theater is magic that appears in different places at different times. We have taken over theaters, presenting shows for curious audiences, and we have created small scale magical experiences for unsuspecting individuals around the world. We design productions, installations, curiosities, oddities, and stories that can pop up anywhere. And afterwards, they disappear as quickly as they arrived. 

We can appear anywhwere

Our show is always on the lookout for interesting (and unexpected) performance spaces to turn into a theater for a spell. We make a magic show out of nothing, and leave without a trace. Our shows are equal parts modern magic, immersive experience, and site-dependent theater. 

Confused? Great! Intrigued? Even better! The only way to fully find out what we mean is to see it for yourself.

“The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.”
