Miss a trick (5)
I believe the answer is:
dodge
I believe this is a double definition.
'miss' is the first definition.
(I know that miss is a more specific form of the action dodge)
'a trick' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for dodge that I've seen before include "Avoid - old American car" , "Evasion" , "Avoid by quick movement" , "Evade - sidestep" , "Cunning move" .)
