From Parallel Lines | Waves.

A Magic Line | Wave is a Distorted Line | Wave in which the Ends of one Line work with the Centers of the other Line.

Magic Line | Wave:       Work with these dancers...   thinking you are here...   or here.

Hint: When the caller says Magic Line | Wave, diagonally reach forward or backward to join hands with your partner in the Magic Line | Wave. This helps to identify who is working with whom.

Note: On calls such as Magic Line In Roll Circulate, Out Roll Circulate, Here Comes The Judge, Sock It To Me, those doing the Circulate should identify themselves by making a noise (say 'here' or 'me') and raising their hand. Those doing the Circulate do a normal Circulate since they are moving from an End position to another End position; the Others Flip one position within their Magic Line toward the End doing the Circulate.
