Hmm, I wish you'd left your dribble pass video up, I'd have liked to see it.
I happen to think a slight turn to the side is excellent cover for the
dribble pass, if timed correctly. It's nothing to do with the angle, it's the fact that the larger action covers the smaller, and besides, in a performing situation, there is plenty of motivation for occasionally turning to the side - so the people on the other side can see. I personally think it's a good thing to keep the "area of focus" moving slightly, because this makes it easier to do tricks that require more misdirection - cards to pocket, card under glass etc. If your magical arena is so stationary that every time you turn your body people are thinking "aye up, where's that hand going?" then you are going to vastly limit your repertoire, or require actual fireworks to pull people's gaze away when you need to do something a bit cheeky.
Jean Jacques Sanvert talks about this on his latest DVD - how the audience mimic your movements. Therefore, if you do all your magic in a neat little space, the reactions will be modest. If however you are more animated, you step forwards and back, you turn, you stretch your arms out, you introduce lots of variation into your voice, people will respond "bigger" in kind. It just so happens that this is also ideal for misdirection purposes. Unfortunately, it doesn't translate well to video, as everything has to stay within frame.
But as I said, I haven't seen the vid.
