He might present me starring in circus (10)

I believe the answer is:

ringmaster

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'he might present' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'me starring in circus' is the wordplay.
'me starring' anagrams to 'RINGMASTER'.
Though, I'm not clear how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ringmaster that I've seen before include "circus performer" , "Circus MC" , "Circus director" , "Circus controller" , "Top top man" .)
