Cardivances by Alejandro Guillier Cardivances by Alejandro Guillier is a book devoted to modern close-up magic, where strong effects, ingenious methods and thoughtful construction work together. Card magic forms the heart of the book, but Alejandro Guillier Farga also ventures into coin magic and more unusual sensory concepts - including fascinating effects in which heat apparently transfers from one coin to another. It is this combination that makes Cardivances particularly interesting. The magic is not limited to what the audience can see. Some of the ideas explore a physical and sensory dimension, allowing spectators to actually feel part of the impossible experience. This creates a different kind of close-up magic - more personal, immediate and difficult to dismiss as simply another trick.

The effect and experience

Throughout the book, Alejandro explores a wide range of plots, techniques and principles. Classic ideas are revisited from fresh perspectives, while original concepts and unconventional solutions offer alternative paths towards stronger and more deceptive magic. Cardivances is therefore much more than simply a collection of tricks. Alejandro also explores the thinking and construction behind the effects: why a method works, how a routine should be structured and which subtle details can determine whether an audience experiences a clever trick or a genuine moment of astonishment. The material is designed to be performed, studied and adapted to suit your own style. Card magicians will naturally find plenty of material to explore.

Performance possibilities

Among the areas highlighted are card assemblies, where Alejandro introduces ideas and concepts that develop familiar structures in new directions. At the same time, the repertoire expands into coins and other concepts that move beyond conventional card magic. Alejandro Guillier Farga's approach combines technique, method, structure and presentation without losing sight of what ultimately matters: the audience's experience. The goal is not complexity for its own sake, but to create clear and convincing moments in which the method disappears and only the effect remains. Cardivances is particularly suited to the serious close-up magician who wants more than another collection of tricks. It is for performers interested in modern card magic, coin magic, creative construction and the subtle details that can transform an already strong effect into something genuinely impossible.
