An
amazing high-tech stage show full of comedy, drama and suspense, The Spencers: Theatre of Illusion enchants and astounds at Diana Wortham Theatre, Friday and Saturday,
May 9 & 10 at 8:00 p.m. Described as “Modern Day Houdinis,” this
stereotype-shattering duo of magicians is the only act in history to be named
Performing Arts’ Entertainers of the Year a record-breaking six consecutive
years and have twice been named America’s Best Entertainers. The International
Merlin Society, which recognizes the best magicians in the world, awarded The
Spencers its top honor, naming them International Magicians of the Year. With
this award, they joined the ranks of other recipients including Penn &
Teller, David Copperfield and Criss Angel.
The Spencers: Theatre of
Illusion is a unique fusion of magic and illusion, humor and mystery, and
persona and personality that inspires viewers with a sense of wonder, using
magic like a storyteller uses words. Comprised of husband and wife duo Kevin
and Cindy, The Spencers are actively keeping the art of illusion on the cutting
edge. The Chicago Tribune notes, "Combining
original theatrical elements with high-tech illusions, The Spencers bring the
age old art of magic into the 21st Century."
Audience
members don't simply watch the show, but are also invited to participate in the
magic. Using magic much like a storyteller uses words, Kevin fuses this
family-friendly production with a gamut of emotions. And with the skills of a
master showman, he creates a world where nothing is impossible and anything can
happen.
With a stunning stage show
combining suspense, comedy, romance and drama with elaborate stage illusions,
The Spencers have earned a reputation as one of the most sought-after illusion
teams in the business. Working with some of the leading creators, inventors, designers,
and builders in the industry, The Spencers feature many original illusions that
you simply won't see anywhere else.
The Spencers’ philosophy is
that when presented properly, the art of illusion has the potential to move an
audience—both emotionally and intellectually—in much the same way as great
music, inspiring dance, and powerful theatre. With Theatre of Illusion they have created a production in which
artistry and theatre converge; where intellect and amazement collide; and where
impossibility and inspiration are inseparable.
