What is the best false overhand shuffle in your opinion?

If it's a full-deck false shuffle, I use the lift shuffle. Don't know about best, but it works for me.

Depends on what you consider "best". For me, it means a full-deck shuffle that looks exactly like the way a layperson would do it: not a riffle shuffle (in some parts of the world, only magicians do those), nothing showy/flashy (anything that might suggest card-handling skill), no jogs, awkward pauses, or interruptions to the rhythm. It would also be nice if it were easy to do.
The best candidate for that honour is Dan Garrett's "Underhanded Overhand Shuffle" (made even better with an improvement by Bob Farmer).

For me the bestt is Dan Garrett's "Underhanded Overhand Shuffle", but please do not underestimate the Lift Shuffle it looks better in my opinion.

I found it. Will check out the lift shuffle.
What do you all think of Benjamin earl's real false shuffle? |

Lift shuffle isn't what I'm looking for. I'm mainly wanting to retain the order of the entire deck.
