Artist takes in magician's bar in Africa (6)
I believe the answer is:
rwanda
'in africa' is the definition.
('Rwanda' is part of 'africa')
'artist takes in magician's bar' is the wordplay.
'artist' becomes 'ra' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'takes in' is an insertion indicator.
'magician's bar' becomes 'wand' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ra' placed around 'wand' is 'RWANDA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rwanda that I've seen before include "Republic in central Africa" , "Scene of a genocide in 1994" , "African state" , "Kigali's country" , "Language" .)
