Dominant Hand Identity Crisis

When I do cardistry moves I hold the deck in my left hand. When I do sleights like the pass and double lift I hold the deck in my right hand. These two facts are fine by themselves but it's when they're combined that they suck. Every time I want to do a false cut I have to switch hands and then when a sleight needs to be done I switch hands again. That's really annoying but what drives me crazy is when flourishes are combined with magic. For instance I can't to the dribble pass the reason being that I learned the pass while holding the deck in my right hand but I only know how to dribble the cards in my right hand.

What can be done to fix this and why did it happen in the first place?
 
I have the exact same issue, and there seems to only be one solution - learn the same flourish/sleight in your other hand!
