Fellowship of Christian Magicians Convention 2026: Faith, Fellowship, and the Art of Magic
For nearly seven decades, the Fellowship of Christian Magicians (FCM) has brought together performers who share a passion for the art of magic and a desire to use their talents to inspire others. Each year, the FCM International Convention gathers magicians, entertainers, ministry leaders, and families for several unforgettable days of learning, fellowship, and world-class entertainment.
The Fellowship of Christian Magicians Convention 2026 will continue this tradition, welcoming attendees from across the United States and around the world to Danville for an inspiring and educational event.
Taking place July 26–30, 2026, the convention will once again be hosted at the spacious Hendricks County 4-H Fairgrounds and Conference Complex, a venue that has served as the home of the conference since 2017.
A Historic Convention with a Powerful Legacy
The Fellowship of Christian Magicians held its first convention on July 15, 1958, just five years after the organization itself was founded. What began as a gathering of a small group of performers who believed magic could be used as a positive and inspirational art form quickly grew into an international movement.
Over the years, the annual convention has become one of the most meaningful gatherings for magicians who want to combine entertainment, creativity, and faith-based storytelling. Many attendees return year after year not only for the magic but also for the sense of community that has defined the convention since its earliest days.
Today, the FCM Convention continues to celebrate the idea that magic can be more than just tricks—it can be a powerful way to communicate meaningful messages and create memorable experiences for audiences of all ages.
