Magician, illusionist, trickster.
One with fast hands like a street magician.
Probably from the Italian presto(fast)
and Latin digitus (fingers).

That word you only know exists thanks to the movie "Akeelah and the Bee".
Dr. Larabee: Alright, Akeelah. Please spell "prestidigitation".
Akeelah: P-R-E-S-T-I-D-I-G-I-T-A-T-I-O-N. Prestidigitation.
Dr. Larabee: Amazing! You should try to win the national spelling bee!
The man with the tuxedo and top hat performed various acts of prestidigitation for the audience at the theater that night.
