Hoax supported by a new sorcerer (6)
I believe the answer is:
shaman
'sorcerer' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'hoax supported by a new' is the wordplay.
'hoax' becomes 'sham'.
'supported by' says to put letters next to each other (letters go below - in down clue).
'a new' becomes 'an' (I've seen this in other clues).
'sham'+'an'='SHAMAN'
(Other definitions for shaman that I've seen before include "16 21 [INDIAN IMPORT]" , "Indian priest" , "Man of spirit" , "who practises a form of spiritualism?" , "Witch doctor" .)
