Where did the term "sleight of hand" come from?
It comes from French léger de main meaning “sleight of hand, artful trickery or deception”. Personally, we prefer Google's “sleight of hand” definition: “manual dexterity, typically in performing conjuring tricks”.
Sleight of hand, meaning skillful deception or manual dexterity, originates from the Old Norse word sloegr ("cunning" or "sly") and dates in English usage to roughly 1350–1400. It refers to the "quickness of hand" used for magic or tricks, with roots in ancient, 2,500-year-old Egyptian cups-and-balls performances, long before it became a popular entertainment form.
Sleight of hand is the art of using quick, manual dexterity and misdirection to perform magic tricks, creating illusions of impossible, deceptive, or skillful acts. It involves manipulating small objects—most commonly cards and coins—to appear, disappear, or transform, relying on high-level, practiced finger movements to deceive observers.

That means I trust him.
