i totallt agree..i could give a hoot what cards you have...im not there to play really ...only to observe and keep the game fluid...Some can, but it takes a lot of practice. I certainly can't
FWIW, almost every casino uses a cutting card which (among other things) makes it near impossible to deal from the bottom of the deck. You could still deal seconds from the top, in theory, though that still only puts one specific card (the top card in the deck) in one player's hand.
There's two reasons why it's unlikely the average dealer is doing any of this though.
One, as Nomas says, is that the dealer would likely be fired. Casinos have sophisticated surveillance systems, and they do look for stuff like that.
And two, speaking for myself if not all other dealers, I don't actually care what cards you get. I'm getting paid the same either way, so the incentive for me to stack the deck (assuming I even could) is pretty much zero.
I think what you're really looking for is a card magician, not a poker dealer
