i'm very average with camera stuff but i'm pretty sure you can do this simply with a long exposure and a light source like you said a torch should work. Just need to make sure the subject doesn't move much as they will be blurry if they do and just move the light however you like you could write your name or anything is a good bit of fun mucking around with

Looked at that photo again looks to be 2 photos with one over the top of the other? I dunno plenty of people who know there stuff on here will give you some better info than what I have

long exposure low iso high f/number and a torch

takes practice tho
