after a shuffle do you cut, fan, push them around the table etc
Ive started to just shuffle and when i feel like stoping i do and draw the top cards

so how do you do yours

I always choose my cards the same way, as when I read for others I don't do in person anyways.

I take the deck in my hands face down. Then shuffle. I usually decide in advance how many times to shuffle, usually a number in relation to the desired outcome in the situation, EG if I feel stressed I might shuffle 8 times for courage, 6 times on a love issue...

Then i turn the deck over in my hands so that it is face up and close my eyes. I then just "feel" my way through the deck and when I get to a card that feels right I pull it out and put it out in front of me. Then I continue pulling cards in the same way until I have the desired amount of until it feels time to stop.
