Most moves don’t remain untouched—not even the hidden ones.
Even the sleights that remain in the shadows evolve… in whispers, in stacks of boxes, in sessions.
Marlo’s Off-the-Face Switches for The Devilish Miracle are no exception.
They’ve evolved over decades.
In Output 5, Evolution of a Switch tracks that evolution:
• From Marlo’s 1947 original in The Devilish Miracle (1948)
• Through The Cardician (1953)
• Into Marlo’s Magazine Vol. 3 (1979)
• And ultimately, to the unearthed Interface Switch—a buried gem entrusted to me by Jon Racherbaumer and buried among Marlo’s papers.
I’ve compiled 40 years of history, psychology and refinement to show how Marlo’s creative journey led to his previously unpublished Interface Switch.
But that’s not all.
Inside Output 5, you’ll also learn:
• The Overhand Throw-off Control – Marlo’s two-selection control crafted to prime the Devilish Miracle’s finale.
• For Any Devilish Miracle – Marlo’s streamlined packet structure that walks spectators straight into a psychological twist.
• BONUS (Reynolds): My Off-Hand Overhand False Shuffle, plus my personal setup for Synergistic Poker.
If you care about subtlety—if you’re drawn to sleights that stay invisible even under heat—this is the kind of work that changes how you think.
Output 5 is now available.
