Great tip, I found I did move the left to the right slightly in any case, but that was based on extended mirror time of seeing how things looked when performing a real transfer.
I think the reason it works is because if genuinely doing a transfer, both hands wouldn't be so rigid. I used to look down on the French Drop as a childish basic move, but when done right it's really satisfying.
Yes, I generally do always go out and perform, often after only a few minutes practice, very much like the Wizard Product Review cliche of "I opened this up 5 mins ago and can do it already", but chop cup has been the only exception in several years of magic buying. However, to add to what bmat said, it was only going out and performing it I realised that my carefully considered patter about short term memory loss and forgetting how the ball was under the cup was overly flowery - sometimes a spectator just wants that instant gratification, rather than a 30 second waffley premise.
Definitely agree about mirror time in moderation.
