Not from Chem-E...the first, "prestidigitation", is from magic-show practice where hand coordination is required, as in the expression "The hand is quicker than the eye."

Sitzfleisch is from chess, meaning the ability to out-sit the opponent rather than actually outplay him or her. And a reason why chess has used clocks for a very long time! (I think it is used in other contexts also.)

I am glad we agree on something at this board. Perhaps one day we will agree on a play or cube decision, too!
