A Little Skilll Perhaps!

Today's Word "legerdemain"

legerdemain \lej-ur-duh-MAIN\ (noun) - 1 : Sleight of hand. 2 : A display of skill, trickery, or artful deception.

"Frank and Ernst's legerdemain at the blackjack table and roulette wheel were the stuff of legend, earning them accolades from the like-minded as well as a comfortable living."

Legerdemain is from Old French leger de main, literally "light of hand": leger, "light" + de, "of" + main, "hand."
