The swing cut and swing cut followed by a double under cut were the first ones I learnt. Simple but effective.

Anything Mr Lorayne recommends Plus check,. Tarbell Course volume 1, page 255 "Riffle False Shuffle" easy to accomplish in light of your first post. As an aside Richard Osterlind uses this as his in the hands false riffle

He bends and uses his thigh to complete the riffle. Flows nicely

I've always used Steve Beams Underhand Shuffle to great success. Just remember... Nobody is really analyzing the way you shuffle. As long as it looks like the cards are being mixed and you're speaking to them and looking in their eyes at the same time, most anything will fly.

I use a system where I shuffle overhand undercutting batches of cards about. I have done this particular false shuffle so often now that it is second nature and I don't even have to look at the cards. One can make the shuffle look very fluid with practice and it is highly deceptive.This false shuffle does not cut the deck during its application. I wish I knew the originator of the shuffle. It might well go back as far as Howard Thurston? Let us call it the 'Thurston false overhand shuffle' for want of a better title.
I also recommend the 'false Haymow shuffle' which does not need to cut the deck in it's application if you in jog and make a throw as I do. There is also the 'Mish Mash false shuffle'.This retains a full deck order.If done skilfully (use your hands to half hide and twist the cards when pushing together the cards as you start to square them up) this can be very deceptive. However you will require a table surface for this one. The 'false ladder cut' is very deceptive and may be presented as a shuffle if you are able to perform it very fluidly. This sleight looks lovely to see and gives the impression that you have skill with cards. |

The Steve Beams Underhand Shuffle is something that I also find to be in my liking and I agree with Mule. They don't really pay that much attention when we shuffle the deck. And if they do, we just do what we practice and make the shuffling look really smooth and they shouldn't be able to spot any difference at all specially when we're talking to them while at it.
