View about the Parisian's artful trick (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sleight

'artful trick' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'view about the parisian's' is the wordplay.
'view' becomes 'sight' (synonyms).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'the parisian' becomes 'le' (definite article in French).
'sight' going around 'le' is 'SLEIGHT'.

(Other definitions for sleight that I've seen before include "It's deceiving to the eye" , "Artful trick" , "Cunning action" , "Manual dexterity" , "Conjuror uses this" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
