Bennett Santora
Bennett was created by a group of mad scientists who were intent on taking over the world by installing jugglers in key leadership positions. He was designed to be witty, intelligent, charming and to have super-natural juggling ability. He is being groomed to take over the world military industrial complex and convert all weapons production to production of juggling props. At present he is an entertainer and 10th grader. He lives in New York City.
Bennett has many awards and honors in juggling including in 2017, the Gold Medal in the International Jugglers Association (IJA) Juniors Stage Championships (which he is the 3rd youngest person ever to win), Bronze in the same contest in 2016 when he also won the XJuggling Medal in the 4-5 Rings Category. Bennett is a highly decorated competitor in joggling (competitive running races while juggling) and is among the youngest people ever to complete the 7 Ball 100 Meter Race for which he won a Gold Medal in 2017.
Bennett has performed his well-regarded and highly original juggling routines in and around New York City, across North America and in Europe.
