Afterglow The Anytime Act by John Graham

Turn seven card tricks into a complete close-up show with Afterglow by John Graham. This hardback teaches you to perform a 20-minute act with a shuffled deck, building each phase into a journey for your audience.

Use the effects individually or connect them into one flowing performance for close-up situations. Graham shares the scripting, transitions, and ways into and out of each phase, so you can focus on making the entire act feel connected.
