For a simple one check out Dan Harlan's on the leg shuffle.
Has to be the EZiest to do and it looks and SOUNDS legit.
Another thought is have a short card on top and do the charlier shuffle/mix where cards on top of one half of deck go on bottom of other half , cut one and TADDAH.

I've always relied on the Zarrow, but I'm learning the Push through now, which I have to say, is certainly fairer looking

Reason not to do green's shuffle - is causes slight bend in the card which can make faroing harder

The false overhand shuffle from Genii magazine mentioned in an earlier post is very deceptive and not too hard to learn. Tamariz's false overhand shuffle from Mnemonica works very well and is easier. If I'm first bringing out a stacked deck and want to retain the full stack, I just do two perfect faros (after having done 6 before starting) to get back to original stack order and then a false cut.

That's a variation on the G.W. Hunter shuffle.

I think the best illusion of shuffling is achieved by mixing different false shuffles and cuts together, and paying no attention to your shuffling. Since I didn't notice anyone mentioning the Mead/Kennedy false overhand shuffle from Michael Close's "Closely Guarded Secrets" I'll throw it into the mix as a very deceptive full deck control.

I have been looking for a good false shuffle lately as well and ran across this one:

Does this one look similar to the other underhand overhand shuffles mentioned here?

The best in the hands false overhand shuffle I've ever seen if from an old book called Feature Magic For Mentalists by Will Dexter. I didn't get anything else from the book but the shuffle is Well worth checking out.

Bill Malone's Sam the Bellhop is full of great stuff.

If I have a table I like the push thru or the Zarrow, using Marlo's Shank Shuffle idea. But if you are standing then I use a shuffle that was in one of Harry Lorayne's books which I believe had a name something like the riffle diffle shuffle. Unfortunately, I don't remember which book. But the shuffle is best done on your leg so the spectator only sees the top of the deck. I don't think I have ever seen anyone else use but if one does it one finds that it really gets the work done.

The best false shuffle is the one you can do and convinces the audience that the cards are shuffled. The great looking false shuffle performed by Alan Ackerman, Gary Plant, Mike Close, etc. look great in their hands, but in mine, they don't look so convincing. I am working on the Heinstein shuffle and the overhand shuffle. My friend, Dennis Loomis is right, the Haymow shuffle is a pretty good shuffle.

For table-situations, BJ Bueno's shuffle is superb. For the more relaxed in the hands approach, I find Guy Hollingworth's to be a rather nice one.

Good luck in finding your search.

For the table, a Zarrow shuffle. In the hands, a simple jog shuffle or the Hollingworth riffle shuffle.

One more that hasn't been mentioned in the thread, (Unless I overlooked it.) is John Cornelius' Oh Calcutta Shuffle. It's an in the hands false Hindu Shuffle. I agree that L. Green's Rosetta Shuffle is very deceptive, and it's not that difficult to do. It is, rather quirky, looking like no other shuffle on earth. But, with some good patter, it is convincing.

I like the Heinstein Shuffle. I have the DVD and it looks very good, but I saw Karl Hein do it at a convention live, and it was OUTSTANDING. One of the best things about the Heinstein shuffle is the sound. It has the sound of an in the hands riffle followed by the usual bridge or cascade. This is very disarming.

Remember this: the most important thing is your attitude. If you can do the shuffle without looking at it, and while talking to the audience, they won't pay much attention to it because you're not. In the new book "Tangled Web" Eric Mead suggests, as did someone else earlier in the thread that using a variety of false shuffles and cuts is most convincing. I think that's right, although some magic authors have said that all of your shuffles should look alike. While it's true that lay people generally only know and use one shuffle, we're considered differently. The audience knows we work with cards a lot, and knowing how to do a variety of shuffles is probably fine for magicians. I've used the Haymow for years, but I'm actively working on adding more to my repertoire, including the ones I've mentioned here. (Heinstein, Rosetta, and Oh Calcutta.) I'm also working on a couple of new false cuts, including Lennert Green's Bricklayer and Optical Cuts, Alexander de Cova's Gold Dust Cut, and a couple more.

Nostrings: No one wants to tell you about them 'cause they want to keep 'em to themselves! Check out my (in hand) Riffle-Diffle Shuffle and (on table) Super Riffle-Diffle Shuffle. Both in RIM SHOTS - good luck finding a copy. And, just before these two shuffles is an item called A Red-Black Shuffle. Toward the end of that item is a shuffle that gamgler's call Old Reliable, for the entire deck. Check 'em out. Best - HARRY LORAYNE.

The only false shuffle that I feel comfortable with is when I am using S*St*****s
stacked deck. It looks like an overhand shuffle but is actually just a series of overhand cuts. I never look at the cards and I never stop talking. Some may call it the poor man's version of finger flinging but to a guy with all thumbs it works for me. I've read his books and watched his tapes. There is no doubt in my mind that he is the best teacher, bar none. However, as much as I would love to have his skills I would never amount to more than a row of pins compared to Harry Lorayne. His enthusiam is contagious so do not ignore any source of his work.

For in the hands work check out MOSES from Justin Hanes' Mystery Egineering.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Lennart Green's Green Shuffle.

It's in one of vol. 4-6.

I'd been idly practising it every no and then for a while. Never infront of a mirror. I was convinced that it was no where near good enough to perform. But recently performed it several times in different gambling effects. At the end of the effect I asked several of the spectators (friends and relatives) if they were happy the shuffling had been fair. They were astounded to learn that they had been deceived.

The key to a false shuffle is a fluent motion of the hand and the fact that the false shuffle resembles YOUR normal shuffle.

Actually, I belive that's the one Tamariz uses quite often.
That and his cascade shuffle.
