In 1995, The Spencers were named Performing Arts Entertainers of the Year by arts presenters and college/university entertainment programmers 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. Kevin and Cindy Spencer have been a popular entertainment production for more than a decade with performances over 2,000 performances throughout the U.S. and in five countries. They have cultivated an audience base of fans in towns and cities across the nation, which has moved them into the millennium as one of the most popular illusion teams of the new century. The Spencers have been described as "Modern Day Houdini's" by the media. The 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 legerdemaine. 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. In August 1998, Kevin was featured on the cover of the oldest leading international magic magazine in the world, THE LINKING RING. In September 1998, history was made when Cindy was featured on the magazine cover as well. She is the first woman in the 70 years of the publication to ever receive her own cover with a feature that recognized her contributions to the art of magic. They have brought the art of illusion to new heights of artistry and imagination. Combining theatrical elements with music, magic, humor, audience participation, and cutting edge illusions, the Spencers deliver a clean, positive performance with a style that is uniquely theirs.
