>slight-of-hand

Tangent: to be "slight of hand" would be someone with small or delicate hands, whereas "sleight-of-hand" (note the E) is the correct term for deception and trickery.




I was a working magician at age 13, and could have used a book with the title:

“Sleight-of-hand for the slight of hand.”
