Karl Fulves is a magician and author and editor of publications on magic, ^[1] including the Pallbearer's Review.

Karl Fulves lives in Fairlawn, New Jersey,^{[citation needed]}. There is not much known about him other than his high output of magic literature. He has taught thousands of beginners to perform feats of sleight of hand through the books he has published.^[2]

Fulves is most well known for his "Self-Working" book series from Dover.^[3]

Periodicals

Karl Fulves took over The New Phoenix magazine from Don Tanner. He published three more issues and then at issue 400 in October 1965 stated "The bird will be fondly laid to rest." He then started a new magazine called The Pallbearers Review which continued until 1975.

He started a periodical called Epilogue from 1967 until 1976.

In 1970, Joseph K. Schmidt submitted Fulves a coin flourish complete with illustrations. The contribution was published in Volume 5, Issue #10 of Pallbearers. Fulves was very impressed with Schmidt's artistic abilities and, coincidentally, was looking for an artist to illustrate some of the lengthier routines. He asked Schmidt to illustrate an effect called Canterbury Cups and Schmidt agreed. Fulves and Schmidt's relationship grew. Fulves was the first person to refer to Schmidt as an "artist". Schmidt has illustrated over 75 books, manuscripts and booklets for Fulves, including Swindle Sheet, Cheat Sheet, Rigmarole, and Verbatim.

Shortly after concluding Pallbearers and Epilogue he announced the birth of a new periodical, The Chronicles Limited to 36 issues, The Chronicles took from 1978 to 1988 to complete, and during those ten years, the close-up magic of the period was explained in its pages.

Fulves published many more periodicals over the years including Charlatan, Underworld accompanied by Fine Print, Interlocutor, and Midnight Magic Monthly.
