Of course they would not. You can NOT read from the same file handle
twice!!!!
For proper shadowing I suggest you annotate the text onto a transparent
image (any color) ONCE ONLY. You can then use -shadow to generate a
shadow image with an appropriate offset.
printf "Anthony" | convert -gravity Center -size 320x100 xc:none \
-font Arial-Bold -pointsize 72 -tile gradient:black-white \
-annotate +0+0 @- \
\
\( -clone 0 -background black -shadow 60x3+5+5 \) \
\
\( -clone 0 -alpha off -fill silver -colorize 100% \) \
\
-reverse -flatten /tmp/shadow.jpg
First section create a text image on transparency (with a color gradient fill)
second part make a soft shadow of that transparent shape
third generate a solid color background image
and lastly reverse the order of all the images and flatten all together.
