dexterousness
Nimble-fingered ability
Dexterousness is skill and grace in using the hands or body, or more broadly, adroitness in handling situations.
The word is a longer form of dexterity, carrying the same meaning but used less frequently: The surgeon's dexterousness was remarkable.
Both physical and mental nimbleness qualify.
