Career

Magia Blanca made his in-ring debut on June 19, 2011, in his hometown of Torreón, then under the ring name Magnifico I. Along with his cousin Magnifico II, they formed the group Los Magnificos. The first mach they had was against Vientos Negros.^[2]^[3] Soon, they founded the trio Reyes del Aire with another relative, Angelikal. The trio wrestled extensively high on the match cards in Coahuila and Durango in 2012 and 2013, published on Ivoox.^[4]^[5]

Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (2015–)

In 2015, he was signed to Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and he was repackaged as Magia Blanca (Spanish for "White Magic"), without changing the design of the mask. After spending the fall of 2015 wrestling at the promotions's minor events in Puebla and Guadalajara, he made his debut in Mexico City on March 22, 2016, during the La Gran Alternativa tournament, which pits an experienced wrestler against a rookie. Magia Blanca teamed up with his trainer Último Guerrero and they made it to the quarter-finals.^[6] In 2018, he won the Copa Nuevos Valores tournament, a tournament for new talent in CMLL. In the finals, he defeated Flyer, which earned him a title match against Soberano Jr. over the Mexican National Welterweight Championship. However, Magia Blanca lost that bout two fall to one.^[7] At the Gran Alternativa tournament, Flyer gained a measure of revenge where he and Volador Jr. defeated Magia Blanca and Atlantis from the tournament.^[8]^[9] On May 24 it was revealed that Magia Blanca had suffered a knee injury during a match and would not be able to work for six to nine months.^[10]

Since 2022, Magia Blanca is part of the stable Los Depredadores alongside Diamond, Magnus, Rugido and Volador Jr. On June 24, 2022, he won the National Welterweight Championship, since Soberano Jr. vacated the title to move up to middleweight. Magia Blanca defeated nine other wrestlers in a tournament to become the new champion.^[11]
