3* EpilepticTrees: Some theorize that "Maga" (magician in Spanish) is the last name of Lucía, hence the nickname.
4* GeniusBonus: If you get all of the references, you get a lollipop.
5* MisaimedFandom: After the book came out some young women in Argentina started imitating La Maga's way of thinking and living; never mind that the book is clear in how irresponsable she is and the horrible consequences.
6* MoralEventHorizon: In the eyes of some readers, Horacio's response of disdain and indifference to [[spoiler: baby Rocamadour's death]] is the point where it became clear just how much of a selfish asshole he really is.
7* TearJerker: The letter written by the Magician to Rocamadour. Bonus points because in both suggested orders it appears directly after [[spoiler: Rocamadour's death]].
8* TheWoobie: Horacio, for all his faults.

10!!The Film:
11* AluminumChristmasTrees: One of the embarrassing secrets that Kendig reveals in his memoirs was an attempt to kill Fidel Castro with a tampered cigar. While it's uncertain as to whether or not it was ever actually tried, the CIA ''did'' float that idea as a possible method of assassination when they were thinking up various ways to kill Castro back in the sixties.
