Karl Fulves

Pallbearers Review was an influential magic periodical founded and edited by Karl Fulves that served as a major forum for close-up magic theory and technique. It was widely read by serious students of close-up magic and published innovative methods and ideas.

Karl Fulves is primarily known for close-up magic, particularly self-working card magic and effects using mathematical principles. His work focuses on tricks that require no sleight of hand, making them accessible to beginners while still being capable of fooling sophisticated audiences.

Karl Fulves has published numerous books on self-working magic, including titles such as 'Self-Working Card Tricks' and 'Self-Working Close-Up Card Magic' through Dover Publications. These books have become standard references for amateur magicians learning card magic.

Karl Fulves has been one of the most prolific magic authors and publishers in America, though his public visibility has decreased in recent years. His published works through Dover and his own imprint remain widely available and influential among close-up magic enthusiasts.
