The '''Magic Club of Vienna''', or the Magischer Klub Wien as it is referred to in local circles, is the oldest association of [[Magic (illusion)|magicians]] in [[Austria]]. It was founded in 1908 and has become a welcome meeting point for amateur and professional magicians. During [[World War II]] the Magic Club of Vienna became a regional branch of the German Magic Circle.

In 1958 and 1976 the "International Federation of Magic Societies" ([[FISM]]) entrusted the club to organize the World Congress of Magic in [[Vienna]]. The Magic Club of Vienna is a founding member of FISM, and also initiated the ''Magischer Ring Austria'' (Magic Ring of Austria), but to which it no longer belongs.

In 1989 [[Magic Christian (magician)|Magic Christian]] became [[president (corporate title)|president]] of the club. In the same year he founded the first Young Magician's Club in [[Austria]].

Today the Magic Club of Vienna has more than 34 adult and around 20 junior members; the latter group are taught the art of magic in their Young Magicians Club.
