OR perhaps the method published by Eric Mead in Tangled Web in which the deck is discreetly reset during a justified Slop Shuffle.

1. half and half shuffle.
2. Let shuffle but restore the pack.

Are there any others?

Allow them to shuffle, however do not let them square the cards... just leave them woven. Proceed with a push-through, Zarrow, or other strip-out technique.

How do we get them to not square?

By stopping them verbally, then spreading the interlaced cards across the table to show that they are really being mixed well. Afterwards, casually "square".

That's the best I've got.

And that's a good answer!

1. half and half shuffle.
2. Let shuffle but restore the pack.
3. Have them shuffle but stop them from squaring so you can control the cards.

Now, one of those options ties into what I was suggesting.  Who wants to guess on that one?

Ben
p.s.
There are, by my count, at least 5 more options we can use!
