Crossword Genius

Adroit spirit. Get prepared for the conjurer (15)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prestidigitator

'the conjurer' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'adroit spirit get prepared' is the wordplay.
'prepared' indicates anagramming the letters.
'adroit'+'spirit'+'get'='adroitspiritget'
'adroitspiritget' with letters rearranged gives 'PRESTIDIGITATOR'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for prestidigitator that I've seen before include "Conjuror" , "Entertainer" , "Tricky performer" , "Illusionist" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
