From Twin Diamonds.

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

Work with these dancers in a distorted Diamond.

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

Notes on traffic patterns:

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

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.

Magic Interlocked Diamond Concept [C4]:   Work with these dancers in a distorted Diamond. Magic Interlocked Diamonds are rarely used since they are difficult to visualize and often involve hideous traffic patterns.
