Afterglow: The Anytime Anywhere Act by John Graham (Stage by Stage) teaches you seven incredible card tricks using a normal deck of cards. The deck of cards can even be borrowed because no setup or prep work is required.
A complete, audience-proven act using nothing more than a shuffled deck of cards in use.
Most importantly though, like with his other bestselling book Encore, John shows you to naturally combine these effects into a compelling 20+ minute act. You'll walk away with the skills needed to perform a complete show for any audience, in any close-up situation, with nothing more than a deck of cards.
John shares his incredible takes on classics like "Play It Straight" by John Bannon, which features an amazing new prequel you're going to love, as well as the "Lazy Man's Card Trick" by Al Koran and Jack Miller. He even shows you a devious way of flowing right into Paul Curry's "Out of This World" without having to waste time on prepping the deck ahead of time.
While these modular effects are great on their own, the true value of Afterglow comes from seeing how John flawlessly routines each one together into a multiphase act that keeps the audience hooked as it builds toward a stunning finale. You'll not only learn how to get into the effects, but also how to seamlessly get out of them and move to the next phase. This includes all the scripting and transitions needed to ensure it all flows smoothly.
You don't need to be someone who performs formal close up shows regularly to take advantage of this incredible book. Seeing John's thought process in action will ultimately teach you how to get maximum impact out of all your magic. Everything is neatly wrapped up in this gorgeous hardback book with over 50 illustrations that has been produced with the exceptional quality you've come to expect from Vanishing Inc. books.
While most magicians know how to wow people with some magic tricks, few of us know how to take them on a journey. Afterglow is your detailed guide to bringing your audience on an adventure they'll never forget. Get your copy today!

Excellent service as always

The OG perfect score was great and did its job for me for years , Perfect Score 2.0 outshines its original . Great tutorial going in depth on the mercury fold and even card splitting . 5 Stars !
The usual speedy delivery by Alex. Lovely props, and clever routine, although I haven’t used it in the trenches yet. Knocked one star off as the red poker chip had a minor chip (damage) in it. This is a product issue though and absolutely no reflection on Monster Magic.
Needs a bit of practice to get angles / timing down , but put that in and you’ve got a visual masterpiece in your hands . Instant reset , tutorial is fantastic 100% a worker
