Cards produced by Kay Evans after a shuffle (6)
I believe the answer is:
knaves
'cards' is the definition.
(knave is a kind of card)
'kay evans after a shuffle' is the wordplay.
'kay' becomes 'k'.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a shuffle' indicates an anagram.
'k'+'evans'='kevans'
'kevans' with letters rearranged gives 'KNAVES'.
'produced by' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for knaves that I've seen before include "Jacks (cards)" , "Scoundrels" , "Four face cards bearing a picture of a young prince" , "Loons" .)
