The Wizard's Club
The Wizard's Club is one of the oldest independent magic clubs in the Midwest. It celebrated its 75th year with a banquet on October 1st 2007.

It has been told that they formed the club because at that time Jewish magicians were not allowed to join the Society of American Magicians.
