Uh, I don't think there is a Svengali overhand shuffle. If there were I should think it would consist of cutting the pack with the left hand instead of dropping packets.

Alternatively, buy a mirage deck.

I've seen an overhand with a Svengali somewhere but I can't remember where.

What I am sure of is that it wasn't on a DVD of sleights.

There IS a svengali overhand shuffle. I have been doing it for around 40 years.

Where is it described? In my wondrous book of course.

That is the long and the short of it.
