Can I say "being seen of your hand" to mean "your hand being seen"? If not so, is there any other preposition I can throw in there to make it work that way? Thank you very much!

Can you form a whole sentence with "your hand being seen" because I don't know what the original phrase means so it's hard to know how you could rephrase it.Quote:

That does not seem natural to me. Where did you find it?Quote:

The context would help but my initial reaction is that it should say something like "The rule says you can't do it with your hand on view/on show".
I came up with the example sentense myself. I guess it could be poker or a magic trick.
I'm having some trouble visiting this site. It takes an unbearably long time for any page to load so sorry for the delay of my reply. Anyways, thank you for your help. There is no way i can come up with an acceptable expression like “being seen of your hand” with maybe another preposition?
I'm not sure if this helps but you could use in. As in 'being seen in your hand'. Again it depends on context.Quote:

Does that help?

Thank you but what if I want to emphasize more the hand itself rather than the contents of it?
You must perform the trick without your hand being seen.
