Self-Working

Self-working is not the best term but it is the one used most often to describe tricks which do not require any sleight-of-hand. Perhaps a better description would be sleight-less. Although these tricks are typically much easier to learn because they do not require any proficiency in moves, they still need practice in presentation, timing and spectator handling.
