Yeah, I've experienced the same thing.  I'm a former magician, and I've read up on a lot of material in regards to being a card sharp.  I noticed that one player only seemed to get hands while the deck was in his hands (a very basic form of cheating, you're much better dealing to a partner since this is much less noticeable).  Further, he didn't really seem to know what he was doing when not dealing.  He wasn't a good player, very passive, kind of loose, but with the deck in his hands, he's firing away like a madman and winning.  Does this mean he was cheating?  Not necessarily, but my sensors were going off, so I just decided I wasn't playing a pot against this guy when he's dealing.

The best advice I can give you, is if you feel like something's not right, just leave.  If it's only one particular guy who's cheating, just don't play during his deal and you'll be okay.

If a mechanic is good, there's not going to be anything for you to see.  There are particular shuffles that are better for manipulation and culling, but things such as deck switches are virtually invisible, and you're not going to see it.
