About Us
THE FRASER VALLEY MAGIC Company
Our general meetings take place on the second Thursday of most months. We hold multiple competitions, and produce magic shows throughout the year. We ran a local show every month for seven years called Third Monday Magic!
The FVMC was founded in 2012 as International Brotherhood of Magicians Ring #387. Nicknamed the Celeste Evans Ring, we serve the central Fraser Valley--including Abbotsford, Mission, Maple Ridge, and Langley, extending as far west as Coquitlam, Surrey, and White Rock, and as far east as Chilliwack and Agassiz/Harrison. However, we welcome members from all over British Columbia, and the world!
Want to learn magic? We host lectures from professional magicians, and also provide lessons via the Fraser Valley Academy of Magic.

Celeste Evans (1931-2017) was a nightclub magician famous for her glamorous style and her dove act. She performed in a sleeveless gown, producing eight to twelve doves without using the baggy jackets and trousers male magicians could wear.
She was born and raised in White Rock--right here in the Fraser Valley.She traveled the world with her act, touring Asia and Africa and appearing on dozens of TV shows and countless live performances in Britain and the United States.
We are honoured to have the Ring named after this incredible entertainer.
