sleight of hand means a trick. It origininated from card tricks or those shell games when the magician would distract you with what was going on in one hand while pulling a trick with the other, thus a sleight of hand.

Sleight is an old word meaning cleverness or skill. So cleverness of hand. It is the set of techniques used by a magician or a card shark to manipulate objects such as cards and coins secretly.
