I used AltaVista for a translation & it just gave me the same word. They just would pronounce it a little differently.

Now if you used the word trick then the answer would be truco....

trickster n nm estafador
trickster n nm embustero

This also links to several that would work equally as well:

charlatán - charlatana - trapacera - trapacero - trapacista

"Tramposo" would be commonly used, though it's closest meaning might be "cheater." (How often do you use the word "trickster" in English?)

Just as in English "trickster" has many synonyms as well as many shades of meaning, so in Spanish one could use any of the following words: farandulero, embustero, estafador, travieso, charlatan, timador, tahur, picaro, and many more.

Altavista gave me bromista for joker, bromista práctico is practical joker. Swindler produced estafador.

Same link in HeavensArrow's reply.
