Hello there fellow Wikipedian! This is a WikiProject formed for the purpose of improving articles related to sleight of hand on the English Wikipedia.
How does sleight of hand differ from magic? edit
Sleight of hand is a set of hand methods and finger techniques used by performing artists in many art forms to entertain or manipulate. It essentially refers to fine motor skills. 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. A magician is defined through either street or stage magic, whereas a sleight of hand artist can be anyone displaying talents with manual dexterity.
Goals edit
