The magazine goes in the middle of the join to stop the straps tightening up on each other. When you're finished the recovery you remove the rolled up magazine and there will be enough slack in the join to be able to get the join undone. The same join with out the magazine will be nearly impossible to undo after a snatch recovery.
I can set up 2 straps for a photo tomorrow if you like.
