C) A sleight of hand technique in which an object appears to be taken into one hand while actually being retained in the other.

D) Self-working tricks are magic that anyone can perform. Self-workers require little practise or training, but they do allow you to perform magic at any time, in any place. However, the fact that a trick requires little to no skill does not mean you should not practice self-working magic; practicing your magic is essential for polish and performance.
