These are the rooms we have built and taken down. Some of them are still warm.

Who

Evan is a worldbuilder and magic maker who finds - and hides - the curious within the ordinary.

A Salem-based magician & immersive artist working at the intersection of theater, story, mystery, and illusion. Perpetually curious; constantly searching for answers to impossible questions.

Invitations

Commission a Private Engagement

Salons, residencies, museums, happenings, weddings that are not weddings, openings, closings, and the occasional escape room. Tell me what you're staging and I'll tell you how we can make it magical!

The Inner Circle

A small list. Kept in pencil. Quiet dispatches when something is opening. Occasional invitations to things that are not publicly advertised.

We share nothing. We vanish if you ask us to.
