Do you know what Afterglow is?
Well according to google, Afterglow is either:
A glow remaining where a light has disappeared or a pleasant effect or feeling that lingers after something is done, experienced, or achieved.
That’s odd, I thought Afterglow was that feeling you get after being Tompinated?
Oh wait, that’s a chill…
Same thing, just different!
Ok what’s this all about?
Allow me to explain;
Afterglow is a routine/PDF put out by that smooth criminal known as Kaleb Wade. Now I don’t actually know if Kaleb is a criminal but I sincerely hope not as he knows where I live!
“Do you perform with an electronic die?”
“Do you own a deck of playing cards?”
Who is this? What’s going on? And why are you asking me silly questions?
Allow me to explain further; If you answered yes to both of those questions, then you meet all of the necessary requirements to be able to perform Afterglow.
Afterglow looks like this:
Does it really?
Sho-nuff!
And now a quick word from Mr Baracus:
Quit yo’ Jibber Jabber fool and talk about Afterglow!
Sorry Bosco!
OK, here’s how Afterglow really looks:
An envelope is handed out at the start.
Participant 1 freely tosses a coin, Participant 2 rolls a die and Participant 3 chooses a playing card. All these decisions are made in an extremely fair manner.
The envelope is then opened to reveal that the Performer had predicted all 3 decisions in advance, defying odds of 624/1.
That’s Afterglow in a nutshell.
But don’t let that quick overview of the standard presentation put you off, this is way more exciting than you might first think and Kaleb provides plenty of thoughts and different presentational ideas.
The methods used in this routine are really deceptive, Kaleb has a cool way of incorporating old methods with new and creating good, solid, workable material.
You will need an electronic die or marked poker chips, and the Afterglow gimmick to accomplish this effect.
But I don’t own an electronic die!
Keep your chin up, you don’t need one, Afterglow can be achieved using marked poker chips, just like CASI-KNOW 2.0 from Black Cat Magic.
In fact, you can read my review of CASI-KNOW 2.0 here:
Great, but what is the Afterglow gimmick?
The Afterglow gimmick can be constructed yourself. Now there isn’t any instructions to help you make your own gimmick, but assuming you’re already well versed in the basics of Mentalism, this shouldn’t cause you any problems.
However, if you do have any questions, you can always email Kaleb and he’ll be happy to explain further.
Why should I buy Afterglow?
I’ll tell you why;
Because it’s a flippin’ EFFOM!
FANTASTIC FEAT OF MENTALISM!
Kaleb’s created an effect that will leave your audience feeling all warm and fuzzy inside, it’s like having a bowl of ready brek on a chilly day!
Afterglow is great for any situation, strolling, close-up, parlour or stage. You will get great reactions with it and your participants will be talking about this for a long time afterwards.
Now if I were you, I’d buy the cinematic/Afterglow bundle, I did and I now have 2 EFFOMS that I can add to my set.
Afterglow is available as a PDF from Kaleb at:
