Ken Benge
(San Diego: March 22nd, 1947 - )
Kenneth William Benge majored in speech arts at San Diego State College. Ken had dabbled in magic when just a lad and was only 13 when his interest was diverted to juggling by John Burdeen, who lived nearby. Two major influences on his life were Bobby May, the great American juggler, and the hand balancer Hughie Long. In 1970, at the second annual World Juggling Championships, Ken won the Ball Juggling event as well as several others. He was president of the International Jugglers' Association, 1970-71.
