An advertisement in a daily Viennese paper was the beginning of the foundation of the Magic Club of Vienna in the April 1908. The Viennese teacher Ludwig BRUNNER tried to find amateur magician and called the club "KLUB DER AMATEURE FÜR MAGISCHE KUNST IN WIEN". The strong interest of professional magicians caused a renaming into "MAGISCHER KLUB WIEN" in 1915.
Vienna was always a good ground for the art of magic where Ludwig DÖBLER, Johann Nepomuk HOFZINSER and KRATKY-BASCHIK charmed their Viennese audience that three streets in Vienna are named after these three excellent representatives of the art of magic. Sine the Twenties of the 20th century everybody talked about the" "School of Viennese Magic".
After the second World War the Club blossomed again under the presidency of Hans TRUNK, Reg. Rat Franz HOLL und Toni STURSA. Later Peter Heinz KERSTEN guided the club for many years successfully.
Beside a number of national magic convention the Club hosted the World Congress of Magic in 1976 with world-side attendances. Since 1989 the Club is headed by MAGIC CHRISTIAN, who started many initiatives to support young magicians. Therefore the Club can be seen as youthful today.
