The Spencers redefine the art of illusion and shatter the stereotype of traditional magic. These six-time Performing Arts Entertainers of the Year delight fans young and old with extraordinary illusions that leave audiences awestruck and amazed!
Background:
KEVIN SPENCER - As many young boys are, Kevin Spencer was intrigued by magic at a very early age. He remembers sitting in front of the television and being fascinated by the magicians he saw there. His parents bought him a magic kit at age eight and he worked hard on each of those tricks, performing them for friends and family.
CINDY SPENCER - Cindy says that performing has always been in her blood, but not
necessarily magic. As a child, she was fascinated by the Doug Henning and David Copperfield television shows.
After college, she moved to Dallas, Texas where she worked for the Zale Corporation as a diamond consultant. Her boyfriend at the time had a roommate named Kevin Spencer who "did a little magic." She began to help Kevin perform while Stan, her boyfriend, operated his sound and production. Eventually her relationship with Stan came to an amicable end but Cindy continued to help Kevin and says, "We became great friends!"Not long after, they married.
Cindy joined Kevin in the pursuit of this dream. She played a supporting role in the show, making an occasional appearance on stage and managing minimal responsibilities. All that changed in a single day one November. As they were leaving town for a short tour in the Carolinas, the truck that Kevin was driving was struck by a speeding tractor-trailer. This singular moment would have a significant impact on their lives and their career. After several months in physical and occupational therapy, the Spencers would continue to pursue their dream.
However, as a result of this tragic incident, they were forced to make several changes. Kevin could no longer carry the show alone. Cindy would become a key player in the details of the production. They changed their presentations, their choice of illusions. They studied stagecraft, sought guidance from technical theatre professionals, and from the best in the field of magic. They developed a philosophy that would forever change who they were…and "The Magic of Kevin Spencer" would become "Spencers: Theatre
of Illusion."
Cindy is the first woman to be recognized by the International Brotherhood of Magicians and receive her own feature article and cover on the oldest magic magazine in the world, The Linking Ring.
Today, The Spencers tour with one of the largest theatrical illusion shows in the nation. And they are some of the most respected artists in their field. Spencer is the co-founder of Healing of Magic and the author of the Hocus Focus curriculum for special education students.
