Retirement
Five years later Van Buren and Greta retired from performing. Their last full performance was for their friend George Kovari at Rhyl Pavilion. They have not completely retired from the business, for they still take an active part in the ever growing Van Buren organisation, constantly making and repairing props and devising new and ingenious illusions. Many of the effects are themed for various magical scenes.
In 2012 The Magic Circle made Fred Van Buren a Honorary Lifelong Member of the Inner Magic Circle. Also the same year The British Ring of the International Brotherhood of Magicians ran a tribute show at the Great Yarmouth Convention to the Van Buren Family which included film footage & live performance.
