A complete act using a borrowed, shuffled deck.
Following the massive successes of Stage by Stage and Encore, John Graham presents Afterglow: The Anytime Act. This special book features seven amazing card tricks that can be done from a shuffled deck in use (FASDIU), as well as every detail needed to seamlessly blend them into a nearly 20-minute close-up show that can be performed anytime, anywhere.
“Powerful, beautiful pieces of magic. But it’s more than that. It’s an act with a beginning middle and end. If you study this book carefully, John will teach you how to turn magic into a show.”
Asi Wind
Afterglow is filled with the very best versions of proven stunners. John will teach you his takes on classics like Jack Miller and Al Koran’s “Lazy Man’s Card Trick” and John Bannon’s “Play It Straight”, the latter of which contains a clever new prequel that many of you will use for the rest of your life. John has even developed a way to naturally flow into Paul Curry’s “Out of This World” from a shuffled deck.
While the effects are modular and can be performed separately, the true value of Afterglow comes from seeing how John routines each effect together into a multi-phase act that steadily builds toward a jaw-dropping finale. Even if you don’t often perform formal close-up shows, this book will make you rethink how you can structure all your magic for maximum impact.
"John's done it again. Highly recommended! Learn how to take card tricks and make them an act."
Jeff McBride
You’ll learn how to both get in and out of the effects. This includes all the scripting and transitions you’ll need to effortlessly transform a collection of individual tricks into an audience-proven, tightly structured 18 to 20-minute show. Everything is taught in incredible detail alongside more than 50 illustrations in this beautiful hardback book.
No setup or preparation is needed for Afterglow. As long as you have a deck of cards, you’ll always be ready to amaze everyone in any close-up situation from small groups to parties with 20 or more people.
While a good trick can wow your audience, a great act takes them on a journey. Afterglow by John Graham is your detailed roadmap for bringing every audience on an adventure they’ll never forget. Learn the secrets to the act that has served John, and saved him, on more occasions than he can count. Get Afterglow today!
"John Graham’s new book Afterglow is a real-world winner! The Anytime Act is a mini show from a shuffled deck that will knock your spectator's socks off! Well written and very detailed. John also explains how he constructed the act every step of the way. This alone is worth the price of the book. With a little practice, you can have a close-up card act at your fingertips, anytime you want. All of John’s books offer way more than the price of admission!"

I love everything about this videp. The audience, the atmosphere, the reaction, and everyone just chillin and relaxed while enjoying the show. I also love to see how you just doing a simple trick but executed it so perfect that made everyone want to see more. John, you had a great personality as a performer

What a great personality. Really relaxed. Great performance
-
Just such a great performance. Looking forward to learning his Out of This World, so perfectly constructed.
-
So happy to see this. Love to see the whole performance to follow along with the book. I love your approach to writing/teaching. The whole act. See what everything looks like in context. John you have become only the second author (John Bannon) whose work I buy instantly upon release.

LOL Wayne was not helping much. "Okay, cut some cards" cuts most of deck "...and put them back again. Now cut somewhere else." cuts normal "So it can be different. Now cut some cards" cuts a crazy number again "...and put them back again" LOL I feel your pain man. Nicely handled though. I clicked on this thinking it was a demo for one trick but I think I must've seen about 20 tricks in there from ACAAN to Triumph/Play it straight triumph to Out of this world, Lazy man's card trick etc. Cool idea to make a video to go along with the book.
