Context:

Criss Angel is on a quest to bring magic into our lives through extreme entertainment that he calls "mindfreak." He believes today's magicians are for the most part archaic and out of touch with society. He plans to change that with amazing feats, including being set ablaze for 46 seconds with very little protection and levitating people right on the street to death-defying escapes and even more slight-of-hand acts.

@oristarA,
"Slight of Hand" refers to techniques magicians use to trick the viewer into not noticing what they are doing as they move things with their hands.
