Eastern magician to talk on the country (5)
I believe the answer is:
magus
'eastern magician' is the definition.
'magus' can be an answer for 'magician' (magus is a kind of magician). I am unsure of the 'eastern' bit.
'talk on the country' is the wordplay.
'talk on' becomes 'mag' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'the country' becomes 'US' (U.S. is an example).
'mag'+'us'='MAGUS'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for magus that I've seen before include "Gift-bearing Wise Man" , "Magician, wise man" , "Wizard" , "Priest" , "Balthazar, Gaspar or Melchior individually" .)
