As the stars of Theatre of Illusion , the Spencers are a highly respected and sought-after illusion team and tour with one of the largest illusion rigs in magical entertainment. They continue to redefine "magic" for a new generation delivering drama, spectacle, interaction, danger, and personality with each unforgettable performance. Described as "Modern Day Houdinis" by critics, they have been named "Performing Arts Entertainers of the Year" for a record-breaking six consecutive years and have twice been named "America's Best Entertainers." The Spencers were recently named "International Magicians of the Year," the top honor given by the International Magicians Society, joining the ranks of Doug Henning, Harry Blackstone, Jr., Penn & Teller, David Copperfield, and Criss Angel.
