Definition
特技 covers three related but distinct concepts: (1) a dangerous or impressive physical feat performed by a stunt person or acrobat; (2) a clever trick, especially in magic or conjuring; (3) visual effects in film or TV (special effects). The context usually makes the meaning clear — if it's about movies, it's special effects; if about performance, it's a stunt or trick.
