Learn panel member is someone capable of trickery (8)
I believe the answer is:
conjuror
'someone capable of trickery' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'learn panel member' is the wordplay.
'learn' becomes 'con' ('con' can be a synonym of 'learn').
'panel member' becomes 'juror' (I've seen this before).
'con'+'juror'='CONJUROR'
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for conjuror that I've seen before include "A sleight-of-hand entertainer" , "Trickster" , "Prestidigitator" , "Man of magic tricks" , "Magical entertainer" .)
