"Entertainers of the Year"
1995, 2000
"The
Theatre of Illusion"
The
Spencers present a big, high-tech stage show that combines drama,
comedy and suspense with elaborate illusions for an evening of magic
that has been hailed as "unbelievable entertainment." The Vail
Daily News described them as "modern day Houdinis."
Kevin
and Cindy Spencer have been a popular entertainment attraction for
more than a decade with performances throughout the United States and
five foreign countries. This international illusion sensation has
garnered numerous awards and rave reviews.
They have cultivated an audience base of fans in towns
and cities across the nation which will move them into the millennium as
one of the most popular illusion teams of the new century!
They
combine music, magic, lighting, scenery, special effects, humor and
audience participation with cutting-edge illusions to fill the stage
with magnificent feats of magic.
Rising rapidly through the ranks of magic's legends and
superstars, Kevin and Cindy Spencer have proven they are as popular with
audiences as Houdini, Henning, Blackstone or Penn & Teller.
In 1995, The Spencers were named Performing
Arts Entertainers of the Year by Arts Presenters across the nation
a recognition they share with only one other magician, David
Copperfield. They were the first artists to receive the honor two
years in a row when they won again in 1996! In an unprecedented
vote, they have received this honor for the sixth consecutive year
holding the title longer than any other performer.
In
addition, The Spencers were named ENTERTAINERS OF THE YEAR for
the second time in five years in a recent Reader's Choice Awards survey
conducted by Campus Activities magazine. They have also been recognized
as Best Touring Production, Best Major Production, Best Variety
Artists, and Best Performing Arts Event by those who buy
entertainment for theatres, arts centers, civic centers, colleges and
universities.
The Spencers
are a highly successful touring production
performing in many of the nation's top theatres and performing arts
centers. Presenters and critics alike give them high marks and rave
reviews for their uniquely entertaining production.
This duo presents a big, high-tech stage show that combines drama,
comedy and suspense with elaborate illusions that include dazzling
special effects and puzzling feats of legerdemain. They create a
powerful theatrical experience for their audiences that they will never
forget.
But there's more. With charisma, their personalities travel beyond
the stage lights to touch not only their viewers' inquisitive minds, but
their hearts as well. The Spencers deliver a clean, positive performance with a
style that is uniquely theirs. Entertainers come and go, but few leave a
lasting impression on their audiences or their art. The Spencers
are one of those rare exceptions.

"I cannot express to you how very
pleased we were with the program you presented for the Millsap's Arts and
Lectures series. It wasn't just great magic and illusion (and it was certainly
that!) – from the moment you walked on the stage, the audience was a part of
the performance. I have never seen such interaction between performer and
audience – a real bond of warmth tied everyone together, and that is truly
magical. You gave us our largest crowd of the year and our most fun and
enjoyable evening!"

the audience and left them in awe as they applauded the wonderful and
unbelievable illusions that they had seen. They are not only masters of
illusion, they have mastered the art of quality theater production which is both
technically and aesthetically outstanding. The Spencers belong to the
upper echelons of their art!"
Leach Theatre:

"The Spencers' show is not
simply a magical act, but it is a production and work of art! The time and
effort they have put into the design of their staging and the lighting reflects
a level of commitment to making their show more than just another magic act. It
is one of the best productions available to any performing arts venue. I cannot
help but give them the Highest marks!"
