(qep'a' 2020 REQUEST):  "A noun for an individual performance act a {mIn yuqwI'} does that are often referred to by the slang term 'trick'. e.g. I learned a new trick last week.

SEE:
gho''ong  	magic trick (n)
Ho'DoS  	system, method, manner, technique (n)

SEE:
'IDnar lIlwI' 	magician (n)
mIn yuqwI'  	magician (n) 
'IDnar pIn'a'  	wizard, sorcerer (n)
'IDnar  		magic, wizardry (n)

(Lieven, 11/25/2016):  The most common way to refer to a [stage] magician, like Kalibo, is {mIn yuqwI'}  ({yuq} is outwit, outsmart) ... Another expression for magician is {'IDnar lIlwI'} ... "perform magic" (as Kalibo does) is {mIn yuq} or {'IDnar lIl}. 

(Lieven, 11/25/2016):  To conjure or to cast a spell, which is what wizards do, is {reS}.  So a wizard or sorcerer can also be called a {reSwI'}.  A spell, in this sense, is {tlheH}.  One can say either {tlheH reS} or just {reS} alone for "he/she casts a spell."  Maltz wasn't sure if there is anything besides {tlheH} that can be the object of {reS}, since Maltz isn't a {'IDnar pIn'a'}, but maybe there is.
