Trickery or chicanery (5-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hocus-pocus

I believe this is a double definition.

'trickery' is the first definition.
(I know that trickery can be written as hocus-pocus)

'chicanery' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for hocus-pocus that I've seen before include "Mumbo-jumbo" , "Conjurer's incantation" , "Conjuror's incantation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
