EN: sleight of hand; dexterity
The secret behind every magician's trick and every *mandurukot* (pickpocket) in Quiapo. It’s that "now you see it, now you don't" skill. When someone tries to trick you in a shell game, they're using **bilis ng kamay**. It's also what you jokingly accuse your friend of when they somehow win every round of cards.
Literally "speed of hand".
Used to describe magic tricks, deception, or simply impressive manual dexterity.
🇵🇭 Dahil sa bilis ng kamay ng salamangkero, nawala ang barya sa kanyang palad.
🇺🇸 Because of the magician's sleight of hand, the coin disappeared from his palm.
