The Spencers have redefined the art of illusion and are shattering the stereotype of the traditional magician. They are the only artists in history to be named Performing Arts Entertainers of the Year for a record-breaking six consecutive years and they have twice been named America's Best Entertainers by CA Magazine.

In January of 2003, the Spencers made sports history when they "vanished" the Stanley Cup for the National Hockey League as a kickoff to the NHL All-Star Weekend in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. They did make the cup reappear, along with Hockey Hall of Fame legend Larry Robinson.

And in January 2006, they made Audio Adrenaline, contemporary Christian music artists, appear before a cheering throng of 8,000 fans.

With one of the largest touring illusion companies in the United States, the Spencers transport several tons of state-of-the-art illusions and special effects from city to city. They work with some of the leading inventors, creators and builders in the industry to incorporate original never-before-seen illusions into their production.

They continue to bring new meaning to the world "magic" for a new generation of spectators. Theatre of Illusion is a sophisticated production filled with original magical creations designed exclusively for The Spencers. People levitate, walk through walls, vanish and reappear.
