Curiously Congreave Academy

Filmed live on the 4th June 2026, Curiously Congreave captures another incredible evening with Chris Congreave as he shares a collection of powerful, commercial routines straight from his working repertoire. If you’re familiar with Chris’s magic, you’ll already know what to expect: ingenious methods, direct effects, practical handling, and routines designed to entertain real audiences. This isn’t pipe dream magic, it’s the kind of material that gets genuine reactions in the real world. Over the course of almost two hours, Chris teaches a selection of his latest creations, including many effects that have never been published before. You’ll learn what might just be the easiest and most commercial Card to Matchbox routine we’ve ever seen (and yes, it’s going straight into my own working set!), a brilliantly structured Selected Card at Any Number with a knockout kicker ending, a wonderfully entertaining take on the classic B’Wave plot, and a whole host of other practical gems that you’ll be itching to perform. Every routine carries Chris’s trademark thinking, clever without being complicated, strong without being difficult, and packed full of audience appeal. This isn’t a download filled with pipe dreams and knuckle busting sleights. It’s a collection of routines you’ll genuinely perform. Purchase Curiously Congreave today and the download will be added instantly to the Academy section of your Alakazam account, ready to watch whenever you like.
