We demonstrate a method to produce a very slow atomic beam from a vapour cell magneto-optical trap. Atoms are extracted from the trap using the radiation pressure imbalance caused by a push beam. An additional transfer beam placed near the center of the trap transfers the atomic beam into an off-resonant state. The velocity of the atomic beam has been varied by changing the intensity of the push beam or the position of the transfer beam. The method can be used to generate a continuous, magnetically guided atomic beam in a dark state.
