Legerdemain (7,2,4)

I believe the answer is:

sleight of hand

'legerdemain' is the definition.
(sleight of hand is a kind of legerdemain)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sleight of hand that I've seen before include "Doctor or student doctor" , "Manual dexterity in conjuring" , "Trickery" , "Skilful deception" , "Prestidigitation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
