Milton Kort
Milt Kort (1913 - August 1, 2003) was born Milton Kort and lived most of his life in Michigan. He was a full time pharmacist, eventually opening his own store, Kort's Drugs. He never traveled much, but many magicians would seek him out.
As a teenager in the 1930s, he worked as a demonstrator at Sterling Magic.
He enlisted in the Army during World War II and became a supply sergeant.
The trick MIKO was named in his honor by Harold Sterling, also known as the Three and a Half of Clubs trick.
Milt spent time with J.B. Bobo and was one of the major contributors to his Modern Coin Magic book.
