sleight of hand
Sleight of hand (also known as ''prestidigitation'' or ''legerdemain'') is hand methods and finger techniques used by performing artists in many art forms to entertain or manipulate. It is closely associated and often mistaken for close-up magic, card cheating and card flourishing.
Because of its heavy use and practice by magicians, sleight of hand is often confused as a branch of magic, but is in reality a separate genre of entertainment, as many artists practice sleight of hand without the slightest interest in magic.
Sleight of hand pioneers with worldwide acclaim include Dan and Dave, Ricky Jay, David Blaine, David Copperfield, Yann Frisch, Dai Vernon and Tony Slydini.
==Etymology and history==
The word ''sleight'', meaning "the use of dexterity or cunning, especially so as to deceive", comes from the Old Norse. The phrase ''sleight of hand'' means "quick fingers" or "trickster fingers". Common synonyms from the latin alphabet include ''prestidigitation'' and ''legerdemain''. Seneca the Younger, philosopher of the Silver Age of Latin literature, famously compared rhetoric techniques and illusionist techniques.
