Je vous saurais gré de ne pas vous imaginer que mes flammes ne brûlent que vers le haut ou dans le sens du vent, comme la nature le voudrait... C'est parce que je les manipule à volonté que l'on appelle mon Stand "Magician's Red".
Magician's Red est un Stand humanoïde dont l'apparence est celle d'un homme avec une tête d'oiseau. C'est un Stand puissant avec la capacité de produire et de manipuler des flammes.
Magician's Red apparaît comme une figure humanoïde avec une tête d'oiseau sur le modèle d'un phénix. Il a le haut du corps très musclé et ses jambes couvertes plumes sont parfois aussi couvertes de flammes. Ses mains ont des griffes au lieu d'ongle et il porte des bracelets sombres sur ses deux poignets. Le Stand était à l'origine pieds nus, mais après le retour d'Abdul, il porte des chaussures arabes.
Dans l'OAV, Magician's Red arbore d'épaisses zones de plumes autour de ses poignets au lieu de bracelets. Les plumes sur sa tête poussent également plus bas dans son cou et son bec est plus court.
Son design s'inspire du dieu renégat Horus, de la trilogie Nikopol d'Enki Bilal.[1]

Personality
This Stand is based on the first card in the Major Arcana tarot deck, The Magician; which represents beginnings. It does not show any personality, having a constant aggressive demeanor while listening without fail to its user. Avdol also claims that his Stand does not forgive anyone, even enemy Stand Users.
Abilities
“
The cold wind made the traveler pull his coat tighter, but the heat forced him to admit defeat.
Magician's Red is a Close-Range[2] with the ability to freely manipulate fire. It is also physically powerful[2] as a single kick from it was able to shatter Judgement's armor, whereas Silver Chariot couldn't.[3] Avdol prefers open spaces in order to bring out the true power of Magician's Red.
Pyrokinesis
Magician's Red generates and controls flames
Magician's Red's signature ability is to freely generate and control fire. The resulting flames intense enough to evaporate metal projectiles mid-air and slice railroad tracks. Moreover, Magician's Red's flames are not ordinary flames, but can be freely manipulated by Avdol. With a thought, the fortuneteller can redirect his flames mid-air, give them any shape, control how intense their destructive power is, and even give them other supernatural properties.
As the flames are the product of a Stand, they are invisible to non-Stand users despite still having the same properties as normal flames; non-Stand users merely feel the heat and see the generated heat waves.[4]
It was also shown that Magician's Red flames are vulnerable to water and can be extinguished when doused with it.[5]
Avdol uses several techniques with his flames:
Cross Fire Hurricane(クロスファイヤーハリケーンKurosu Faiyā Harikēn)
Magician's Red can fire a few salvos of the Crossfire Hurricane, a spectacular attack that sends forth a barrage of flaming ankhs from its mouth in a great storm.[6] There is a variation simply called "Crossfire" in the Capcom fighting game, where a single flame ankh is shot out as a projectile. In All-Star Battle, Avdol's attack is named Cross Fire Hurricane Variation (Ｃ・Ｆ・Ｈ・バリエーション, Kurosu Faiyā Harikēn Bariēshon)" as he manipulate the trajectory of his flame ankhs.
Cross Fire Hurricane Special(クロスファイヤーハリケーンスペシャルKurosu Faiyā Harikēn Supesharu)
Magician's Red can use his flame to tie his opponent, like a rope. With this, Avdol is even capable of imprisoning his enemy's arms and legs to the wall, as well as their neck. By putting a flame too close to the opponent's face, it eventually burns the oxygen around them to the point of suffocating them.[4]
Magician's Red can produce a "heat radar", a cruciform mass of psychic flame pointing in six directions: up and down, left and right, forward and backward. The flames are amassed at the tips of the radars and will detect movements, breathing and Stand energy in a 15 meters radius. If the radar detects someone, the flames of the corresponding direction will grow, indicating the location of his heat source based on a compass rose. However, Cream can remain hidden from the radar by virtue of essentially being in another dimension.[8]
Magician's Red is the very first Stand fully revealed in the series, with its face showing even before Star Platinum's. Coincidentally, Magician is the first card of the Major Arcana.
Magician's Red was given a bird-like head so that the the heroes' silhouettes wouldn't look too similar to one another when they're side by side.[1]
The name of Magician's Red's attack, Crossfire Hurricane, comes from the opening line of the Rolling Stones' song "Jumpin' Jack Flash", which is also the name of Lang Rangler's Stand in Stone Ocean.
