Magic Diamond Concept [C4]

From Twin Diamonds. EN: 10

A Magic Diamond is a Distorted Diamond in which the Centers of one Diamond work with the points of the other Diamond. EN: 20

Work with these dancers in a distorted Diamond. EN: 30

   
Magic Diamond Circulate
之前		 之后
Now, from here,
Magic Flip The Diamond EN: 40
 之后

Note that in the last diagram above you now have a Magic Wave [C4] with the dancers who were in your Magic Diamond. EN: 50

Notes on traffic patterns: EN: 60

  • The basic rule is try to get to your ending position with a minimum number of collisions (trying for zero collisions would be a good goal). EN: 70

  • On Magic Cut The Diamond or Magic Flip The Diamond, the points can often work as if In Tandem. EN: 80

In our opinion, callers should say Magic Diamond Cut | Flip The Diamond rather than Cut | Flip The Magic Diamond. In the first case, the dancers initially hear the word Magic and can immediately start locating their Magic Diamond. Also, in our opinion, Cut|Flip The Magic Diamond is NOT the same as Magic Cut|Flip The Diamond, since on a Cut|Flip The formation those with handholds do a formation Circulate as the others simply slide together and Trade (Cut) or Phantom Run (Flip). Hence, for a Cut|Flip The Magic Diamond only the Centers are working Magic. EN: 90

Magic Interlocked Diamond Concept [C4]:

 
Work with these dancers in a distorted Diamond. EN: 130

Magic Interlocked Diamonds are rarely used since they are difficult to visualize and often involve hideous traffic patterns. EN: 140
