Box with skill in trickery (6)
I believe the answer is:
carton
'box' is the definition.
(carton is a kind of box)
'skill in trickery' is the wordplay.
'skill' becomes 'art' (I've seen this before).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'trickery' becomes 'con' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'art' going within 'con' is 'CARTON'.
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for carton that I've seen before include "Small, light box or container" , "Sydney -, Tale of Two Cities hero" , "Light cardboard box" , "Dickensian hero" , "Box without great strength" .)
