"Bit of magic from outside right," said Mark Wright (5)
I believe the answer is:
trick
'bit of magic' is the definition.
(as in a magic trick)
'outside right said mark wright' is the wordplay.
'outside' indicates putting letters inside.
'right' becomes 'R' (common abbreviation).
'said mark wright' becomes 'tick' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'r' going into 'tick' is 'TRICK'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for trick that I've seen before include "Deceive, perhaps with cards" , "Skilful feat" , "Con" , "Point gained in bridge - a deception?" , "Stratagem - part of card play" .)
