No Way Out
This is the trick that fools magicians knowing the oneway principle: two spectator’s selections are found by dealing two piles out
Copy Right

What Pros says
“Steven Youell is an exceptional Sleight of Hand expert and even more exceptional in his ability to teach what he knows to others.”
Darwin Ortiz
“The level of attention to detail that Steven Youell brings to the study of card magic is simply astounding. I have been greatly inspired by Steven’s thinking and thought process. His expertise at engineering and explaining sleights is only exceeded by his ability to find phenomenal presentations.”
Michael Vincent
“Steve is simply one of he best cardmen in the world. He’s able to seamlessly mesh finely honed sleight of hand with razor-sharp presentational skills in a way that allow him to both entertain and devastate an audience at the same time – and that’s what the ‘Real Work’ is all about.”
Paul Chosse
“Steven Youell is a rare combination. As a performer he can do the ‘Real Work’, expressing the chops of an expert. He also knows which parts of the ‘Real Work’ are ‘real’ and which parts are ‘work’. Furthermore, he is exceptionally adept at teaching how magic should be made entertainingly powerful.”
