What it does
Exchange control of target artifact or creature and another target permanent that shares one of those types with it. (This effect lasts indefinitely.)
Squee tucked the warm ball in his pocket and slipped a pebble in its place. 'Glok,' he mumbled, and hid.

Where it came from
Legerdemain was released in 1997 as part of the Tempest expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Designed by Wizards of the Coast during a period of rapid growth for the game, the set was intended to offer a high-power environment with complex mechanics. Legerdemain itself reflects this era's interest in 'exchange' effects, which allowed players to swap control of permanents, a mechanic that added a significant layer of tactical disruption to casual and competitive play alike.
The card features artwork by artist Donato Giancola, whose work became a cornerstone of the game's aesthetic in the late 1990s. Giancola employed his signature painterly style to illustrate the concept of sleight of hand, depicting a figure manipulating magical energies. The card was well-received by players for its clever utility, as it provided blue decks with a unique way to turn an opponent's high-value asset into a liability.
