Cardivances

You may not know Alejandro Guillier Farga's name yet. But after reading Cardivances, you'll understand why he has such a cult following.

Alejandro has developed a distinctive approach to magic that combines technical skill with thinking that feels genuinely fresh. Across cards, coins, mobile phones, and more, he takes familiar plots in unexpected directions, developing new methods and constructions that feel contemporary without sacrificing the impact of the magic.

The material is varied, but the philosophy remains consistent: strong effects, clever solutions, and routines built around genuine astonishment. You'll find interesting approaches to classic plots, original concepts, and deeply considered constructions that reward both study and performance.

One of the highlights is Alejandro's work on card assemblies, where he explores fascinating ideas that offer new possibilities for a classic plot. His coin material takes an equally inventive approach, including effects built around the transfer of heat from one coin to another, introducing a remarkably physical dimension to close-up magic.

Cardivances is a modern collection packed with ideas to explore, routines to perform, and new ways of thinking about the construction of close-up magic.

"Alejandro has a unique vision of how to present not only the classics, but also the newest developments in card magic. He moves effortlessly through fiction, impossibilities, and powerful effects, leaving a lasting impact on everyone who watches him." Miguel Ángel Gea

"The contents of this book are exceptionally rich. Its innovative ideas and fresh solutions to classic plots are truly refreshing. The new generation of magicians will enjoy Alejandro's magic because of his distinctive and contemporary approach to constructing effects and routines-an approach that ultimately delivers what every magician strives for: genuine astonishment from the audience. Cards, coins, and even ideas involving mobile phones... what more could we ask for in a single volume? One of my favorite chapters is the one devoted to card assemblies. There you'll discover fascinating concepts that you'll want to put into practice immediately. Alex has created a modern, magical work full of possibilities. Bravo!"

"I don't know Alejandro Diego Guillier Farga very well. I first discovered him through his adaptation of Travelers (Aces to the Pockets), which I absolutely loved! Since then, I have followed with great interest and curiosity every effect he shares on Facebook. He possesses remarkable technical skill and an approach to magic that clearly speaks to magicians. Chile has a national treasure, and I am convinced that, with time, his value will only continue to grow. I'm a fan!" Carlos Vaquera
