Joseph Kenneth Schmidt (February 17, 1920 - ) was born in Pinconning, Michigan.
Major illustrator of magic books and magazines by Karl Fulves
In 1970, Joseph K. Schmidt submitted to 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 just happened to be looking for an artist to illustrate some more lengthier routines. He asked Schmidt to illustrate "Canterbury Cups" and Schmidt agreed. Fulves and Schmidt's relationship grew and it continues to this day. 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.
