The first cups and balls routine that I learnt was Daryl's one cup routine from his Fooler Doolers series. In it he stresses something that I think is very important and which will alleviate your concerns - namely - when palming a ball immediately pick up your wand or stick or whatever you are using. It is human nature to expect a hand to be doing one thing at a time not two, hence, if you are holding a wand, you're not holding anything else. I believe that Gazzo talks about this on his DVD as well.
My french drop and palming are both fairly agricultural but I don't get pulled on either because I follow the above rule.
Hope that helps,
James
