about

This song first debuted under the name "Phantasma" on the 2004 album, 'Integration,' by Bitstream Dream. Group leader, Rom diPrisco selected the title. The demo had formerly been titled, "Smoke," which had actually been the impetus for Anji to try fitting this particular lyric to Rom's instrumental.

While this new arrangement gives a nod to the quirky jazziness of the previous version, "Sleight Of Hand" is much more sophisticated. The vocal execution alone is infinitely smoother and more satisfying with soulful harmonies and backing vocals wholly absent from the old version, and a much smokier production with a bit of a late Motown feel in the second half.

lyrics

All the world is wonderful
Filled with people beautiful
So many things to see and do
So many dreams to make come true

Still, there’s one thing to understand
Its all illusion through and through
Reality like grains of sand
Slipping quickly through our hands

It’s a sleight of hand; conjuror’s trick
A puff of smoke and it’s gone
Don’t you get caught up this parlor game
When all is said and done
You’ve been fooled
