Deceptions or illusions (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tricks

I believe this is a double definition.

'deceptions' is the first definition.
(I know this)

'illusions' is the second definition.
(I know this)

(Other definitions for tricks that I've seen before include "Ruses ("how's ____?")" , "Deceptions as with cards" , "Illusions or strategems" , "Stratagems" , "Cheats, deceives" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
