Washington Wizards was a magic club (and magazine) in Washington D.C. formed by Al Cohen of Al's Magic Shop in July 1976.

Members of the club, numbering more than 700, got a membership card and a certificate signed by Al.

It was also the name of the club's type-written monthly Newsletter, which was also first published in July 1976. The newsletter gave information about who was performing and lecturing in the area, as well as new tricks and book reviews, and a smattering of the latest magician jokes. The newsletter (though less than periodic at times) ran at least until 1994.
