What is OUTPUT? . . . OUTPUT is a monthly book of primarily card magic with a focus on classic and off-beat effects and methods. This is Steve’s outlet for his ongoing OUTPUT of unique magic, with contributions from his magic friends. There is always a heavy dose of Marlo, with a focus on Ed’s unpublished work. Steve brings his extensive knowledge to the task and so OUTPUT often features a deep-dive history from the 1950’s-1990’s, connecting the dots to the Marlo library.

CONTENTS
Smokey Mates (Reynolds)
A prediction changes its identity to match two selected cards.
Twelfth Method Matcho (Reynolds)
A prediction is isolated face down in the deck and you never touch the cards again. A spectator selects a card from the tabled deck. You say, “Every card in the deck has a mate including your card.” The prediction and the card match.
Jack Carpenter’s False Shuffle (Carpenter)
This is a full-deck false riffle shuffle that Jack developed from Marlo’s Spade Shuffle.
Push-Pull Switch (Reynolds)
As you remove an outjogged card from the deck, a one-for-one switch is made. This is used in the following effect.
As a Point of Departure (Reynolds
The Alex Elmsley effect where a sandwiched selection vanishes from between say two Kings and appears face-up in the deck. This uses the Push-Pull Switch—mentioned above—to accomplish a direct handling.
