Ken Krenzel is well known as a leading exponent of expert sleight-of-hand with cards.[1]
He was born and raised in the Lower East Side of New York City. Krenzel pursued the study of psychology in college and eventually earned a Ph.D.
As a youngster, Ken became a charter member of F.A.M.E. (Future American Magical Entertainers).
