What word that comes from the french words pesto and digit that means to conjure or to create a magical illusion?

From French "preste" (nimble, quick) and the Latin "digitus" (finger), the French language adopted the words "prestidigitateur" (the person performing sleigh-of-hand tricks) and prestidigitation (legerdemain, a French-originating term that is long forgotten in French, althought that reads "light of hand"). This has nothing to do with magical spells, but only with using hand agility to deceive the spectator.
