One of my players wanted his character to be able to do "magic" tricks, so
we gave him a Special Skill that allowed him to do that. For generic magic
tricks we rolled an open test just as for musicians (see Shadowbeat),
while for specific things like making something disappear or appear
from/in his hand, I let the player roll against a TN based on how
difficult I (with my absolute 0 knowledge of how such tricks are done)
thought it would be.
I think the only useful thing the character ever used it for was to
distract a bunch of people at a UB soup kitchen so someone else could
slip into the building unnoticed.
