We introduce circular evolutes and involutes of framed curves in the Euclidean space. Circular evolutes of framed curves stem from the curvature circles of Bishop directions and singular value sets of normal surfaces of Bishop directions. On the other hand, involutes of framed curves are direct generalizations of involutes of regular space curves and frontals in the Euclidean plane. We investigate properties of normal surfaces, circular evolutes, and involutes of framed curves. We can observe that taking circular evolutes and involutes of framed curves are opposite operations under suitable assumptions, similarly to evolutes and involutes of fronts in the Euclidean plane. Furthermore, we investigate the relations among singularities of normal surfaces, circular evolutes, and involutes of framed curves.
