Sequence of cards makes two boys turn red (5,5)

I believe the answer is:

royal flush

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sequence of cards' is the definition.
'royal flush' can be an answer for 'sequence' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'of cards' bit.

'two boys turn red' is the wordplay.
'two boys' means two substitutions for 'boy'.
'boy' becomes 'roy' ().
'boy' becomes 'al'.
'turn red' becomes 'flush' (synonyms).
'roy'+'al'+'flush'='ROYAL FLUSH'

'makes' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
