The Magischer Zirkel der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik (Magic Circle of the German Democratic Republic) was a national magicians' association that was active in East Germany from 1956 to 1969, and again briefly in 1990.

Erich Kluge served as the organization's first chairman until January 1959, when he stepped down for reasons of ill health.

Siegfried Nitsche then served as first chairman from Hander's death in January 1968 until the organization was dissolved in December 1969.

[1] On 11 November 1989, ten magicians convened in Leipzig and made an application to the Ministry of Culture to revive the Magischer Zirkel der DDR.

Within a few months, Stumpf and the managing directors of the association met with their West German counterparts in the Magischer Zirkel von Deutschland to discuss unification of the two groups.
