Meet the magicians behind the mystery.

Mark Clearview and Nick Wallace have each performed on television and stages around the world. Mark has appeared twice on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, earned a Golden Buzzer on Canada’s Got Talent, and performed at the MET Gala afterparty the Bellagio in Las Vegas. Nick has appeared on America’s Got Talent and Penn & Teller: Fool Us and was named the Canadian Champion of Magic.

Now in their third year at The Spirits of Sleepy Hollow Country, they’re bringing an entirely new collection of tricks, curiosities, and oddities to Philipsburg Manor.

And in Sleepy Hollow, even the setting is part of the story.

The Spirits of Sleepy Hollow Country opens October 2.

🔍 Solve Sleepy Hollow’s greatest mystery.

Ichabod Crane has vanished, a terrifying shadow rides through the night, and everyone in town has something to hide. Step into 1790s Sleepy Hollow at Philipsburg Manor for The Headless Horseman Files—an interactive, live-action whodunit where you examine the evidence, question the locals, and crack the case.

Was it Brom Bones settling a score? Katrina Van Tassel guarding a secret? Or Hulda the Witch casting spells?
