Question:    What is Overhand Shuffle? Can a player cheat while doing this?

Answer:    This is the most common type of shuffling. While doing the overhand shuffle, the shuffler holds the entire deck in one hand and throws or pulls part of the top of the deck into the other hand. This is done several times till the deck is completely in the opposite hand. The players can use this technique of shuffling for cheating, which involves a "transfer" of cards. This is generally used in live casinos, where the cheater will be putting the top card on the bottom of the deck, or vice versa, or both. With the first motion, they will pull away only the top card, and make sure that the rest of the cards fall on top of that card, thus, putting the top card in the bottom. With the last few pulls, they will make sure to minimize the cards in a manner so that only the bottom card of the deck remains in the original hand. Then, they'll simply throw that card (previously the bottom card) on top of the deck (now the top card).
