When training for engine out, do you actually turn off the mags?

After engine is stopped with prop feathered, Yes, it's in the check

Not in civilian life, anyhow. I think a CFI who simulated engine
failure by actually stopping the engine (with mixture, say) and
THEN shut off the mags, would get bar-b-qued for sure if something
went wrong.

I interpreted his comments to imply after he is safely on the ground
performing the shut-down/tie-down portion of the checklist.
