I generally shuffle and then let the person cut. I tell them to make as many piles as they like and then pick one. I do have one friend who always shuffles but I trust her with my cards, and I trust her 'energy' (meaning I trust her) so that is fine with me. Generally I prefer to shuffle the cards.
Interesting thoughts about cutting. I have always cut, I guess I thought you were supposed to cut. lately I have felt myself strongly inclined to just deal off the top when I finish shuffling. Dunno where that comes from!
As someone else commented, if I waited until my hands felt tingly to pick a pile, I would never get any readings done. It has just never happened for me.
