How not shuffling the deck theoretically is more magical

I think you miss my point David. No magician in their right mind would shuffle the deck EVERY time the card was lost, but for a good routine to be interesting and entertaining there has to be variety in method to how the effect is achieved otherwise spectators would get bored. What I mean is if you fairly show the card being inserted into the deck, and without the use of duplicate that card then jumps to the top, that's the trick over , no routine - that's real magic.
