Had this discussion with a friend at work and am curious what other opinions might be... in football, what make a play a "trick play?"
Is it rarity (like a flea flicker)? Is it an intent to disguise what you're doing (like a Statue of Liberty or a throw back to the QB)?
An end-around (or reverse) used to be considered a trick play but it's not all that different from a jet sweep, which is a pretty standard play these days. So, where's the line between a play and a trick play?
