Question:
The Shaykh’s issue: There is sorcery that some people perform, which is called sleight of hand, where they can show you something other than the truth, either through speed or dexterity, or through a specific calculation or trick in a card game?

Answer:
This is transformative sorcery. Whether it is called sleight of hand or a trick, it is transformative sorcery.
