I was browsing Dribbble when I noticed a few shots using an effect which appears to look like a magical beam of light, or a "magical smoke" and I could not find out how to create such an effect. If these effects are created in a software which is different than Photoshop, please let me know. Including a PSD file would also be very nice.

Here are a few examples. Notice the blue/white smoke surrounding the contact card:



And again:



Thanks ahead.

This is usualy done with custom brushes. Set a smoke brush to white and paint away. Layer masks can crop the brushed layer to only the visible areas of the image I.E. inside the hat. Then blue is painted under that layer to lighten up the picture giving you the impression that light is coming from the hat.
