Trick did you pull on
He never sounded this resigned. What trick did you pull on him? Did you threaten him or something?
Is the expression what trick did you pull on him be used to imply some threats were used? What's the right expression to use?

Not necessarily threats. It implies something has been done to dispirit him and make him feel resigned to whatever it may be, but this can be done through lying, blackmailing him, threatening him, presenting things in a false way, etc. It's a 'trick', therefore not a fair and honest ploy, but does not necessarily mean threats have been used.
