"Diamond Mine" is my version of Elmsley's classic "Diamond Cut Diamond"
*In Tricks of My Trade - The Magic of Doug Conn
Paul Cummins describes two versions of this thing. Because the Royal Flush leaves room for lots of patter variants (and/or seques from other effects) I prefer this 5 card handling.
Alas: My 2nd is shit (specially from this angle / with bordered backs) but It looks okay in real life (when the eye is naturally misdirected to the face up dealt cards.)
While my deal needs work, I must say, the Truffle shuffle is coming along nicely and the MP sidesteal is serving justice as usual. Ditto dat for Carney's Versa switch (heck; 3 outta 4 aint bad)
Regardless... I Just wanted to document the effect (why? good question... I'm not sure what drives me to put these craptactular videos online.)
Here's it is: Diamond Mine

SideNote: Yes, the selection is any of the named (flush) cards
An online magic journal for things I find interesting. You'll find reviews of magic books, tricks and DVD's and I'll occasionally teach how to do a unique magic effect. In short: this is my web sandbox: I hope you find it useful.
