I believe the answer is:

sleight

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cunning' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for sleight that I've seen before include "Cunning action" , "Conjuror uses this" , "distraction?" , "Manual dexterity" , "It's deceiving to the eye" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
