I agree. Ricky Jay is a superb cardician but I believe that someone in post production (i.e. not Mr Jay) has inserted his table shuffles at the start of the clip. Couple of things note:
- close up table is several shades lighter and greener than the long shot (means they've moved the yellow stage lights further back for the long shot, or it's a completely different cut)
- table spread is right to left, after the cut Ricky is clearly turned to the left taking off the top 5 cards (it's cut to appear seamless which is suspicious)
- Lastly Ricky fans during the shuffle and the few cards you can see aren't in a faro style cyclic order.

Sorry to burst a few bubbles there but I've been hunting around trying to put a name to the table riffle shuffle used by Darwin Ortiz or Guy Hollingsworth. Any thoughts?

i dont care i will simply make him my god and be done with it

You are wrong, he is not using steamboats deck

Would have been nice if you could have actually corrected me rather than just telling me that I was wrong...
