The persuade skill can accomplish deception as well. This is almost always an extended action.
Sleight of hand can be used to hide what you are doing – such as picking pockets, palming an object (card tricks, etc.). It does not take this still to effectively hide something, but if you wish to hide an object on someone it grants knowledge of the best places that will be missed by a pat-down – places where clothing and culture may allow a refuge of deceit.
