Professional magicians and creators Chris Congreave and Gary Jones have been friends and collaborators for almost 20 years. In that time they have released between them (and together) dozens of effects and routines, many are in the repertoires of lots of working magicians.

Alas Chris & Jones is the best of their work from the last 20 years. 72 routines that they have carefully selected from their previously published books as well as 16 brand new effects that have never before been seen.

As well as essays on performing close up magic and misdirection. Chapters on card magic, coins, mentalism and "something different".

Alas Chris & Jones is a beautiful hard backed book that you will absolutely love.

Real Workable Material! Report this review

(This review is for Alas Chris & Jones - Book)
As a professional worker, the material in this book is pure GOLD.

Chris & Gary are true workers, as is their material. Reading a magic book is a journey in itself; it's not like DVD's, downloads or streams where you become a 'karaoke magician'. Learn, practice and mould it to your own presentation.

Each effect is broken down and there's nothing knuckle-busting and the routines are great!

I highly recommend this book and the price isn't enough for what you get out of it.

(This review is for Alas Chris & Jones - Book)
This book is awesome ! I mean, it contains 80+ routines, each one is a worker one. All the material in this book has been performed in real world and is designed for lay audience.
Yes you should be at least an average card magician and have some knowledge about our craft, it's not a full beginner one. But nothing knuckle busting here.
Men, I have already tried 4 tricks with an audience and it kills !
Craig Petty talk about it in his review show in Youtube, go check it !

Another Congreve jones masterpiece Report this review

(This review is for Alas Chris & Jones - Book)
I have purchased this book having owned the majority of products Chris Congreve and Gary Jones release without hesitation. WHY DID I BOTHER ? because everything they put out has been tried and tested in the real world are crowd pleasers and they work.
Chris and Gary don't release things just for the sake of it, in the UK they have an exceptional reputation that they wouldn't risk for the sake of a dollar.
Ive read the book cover to cover and guarantee if your a Pro you will use routines from this book, if your brand new to magic then this book will provide you with magic that you can go out and earn a living from without the need ti ever buy any magic again.
If you're on the fence then just get it.
We all spend more than 100 dollars on things that we let just sit in out bottom drawers.

Pure Gold! Report this review

(This review is for Alas Chris & Jones - Book)
This book is the result of many thousands of gigs in the real world to real audiences, Gary and a Chris are real workers with real working experience over many years. That’s why I couldn’t wait to get my copy of this book.

There is a saying out there, if you get one good routine from a book it has paid for itself, in this book there are 88 tried and tested, real working routines and I would highly recommend all of them. Pure Gold!

Look it's great, it's amazing but you nooo you wouldn't like it..... These routines are well thought out, structured and written by two of the best magicians around .but don't buy it so only the chosen can perform this stuff... Like I said you wouldn't like it it's not for you. You don't even like magic.


Jokes aside it's worth every penny go nuts you will love it

Bought this book and when it landed the first thing that struck me was the quality of the book. It's beautifully bound. Then when you start to go through the book, 88 wonderfully crafted effects. Just take that in, 88 effects for this money. It's a steal. Now to the effects. You could buy this book and blow minds for the rest of your life in restaurants, weddings and corporate with such ease. The effects hit hard and nothing knuckle busting. So easily explained and plenty of opportunity to add your own personality to each effect. Now on top of all that you get 3 valuable essays. This is stunning.
