The Ruling on Sleight of Hand – Shaikh al-Fawzaan

Question: Oh Virtuous Shaikh: there is a type of magic which some people do called sleight of hand, whereby a person is able to show you what is not real either due to speed, or by what is invented of playing cards which have a specific tally/count, or by agility.

Answer: “This is illusionary magic. This is illusionary magic. It is called sleight of hand or deception (حيلة). This is illusionary magic”.
