5. Personal Life
Benno Six is a character with various interests:
He has experimented with playing the violin, beat boxing and rapping as well as acting in plays and doing stand-up comedy, which all effected his personal style of performing magic.
He also has a big fable for sports e.g. windsurfing, mountain climbing, inline skating, running and especially Karate and Kobudo, the latter meaning to him a balance point and alternative inspiration for scrupulous working and perfectionism.
Like almost everybody else he loves to travel, however he often does so in a unique way: For the sake of an exploring experience as authentic as possible, he discovered hitchhiking as his preferred type of movement. Hitchhiking tours all over the world, for ex. 18000 km from Berlin, Germany to Cape Town, South Africa, have influenced his character in many ways and enriched his sense of independence.
