We give a new proof of Markov's classical theorem relating any two closed
braid representations of the same knot or link. The proof is based upon ideas
in a forthcoming paper by the authors, "Stabilization in the braid groups". The
new proof of the classical Markov theorem is used by Nancy Wrinkle in her
forthcoming manuscript "The Markov Theorem for transverse knots".
