["Don't worry," in this context, rather translates to trust me. L has a difficult time doing that on the best of days with the best of people; he rather requires evidence to trust, and that sort of defeats the purpose.

In a world where there was evidence for everything, after all, trust would not need to exist.

He nods, telling the crowd in his short, unshowman-like way that people in the crowd are welcome to inspect the deck if they want to to make sure there's nothing unusual about it. Several members of the throng seem interested in doing just that, and when the deck comes back to Izuku, well... it's on him.

L makes sure that he looks at every card, even if only briefly, and someone has offered their hat to start passing around for bets. It's lucky, since L himself doesn't really have anything to collect money in. He listens, keeping track of who is betting what... but there won't be a need to pay anyone back double. No, so long as Izuku doesn't alter the card order now that L's seen them, they'll be able to claim every cent.]
