Old method to lift up more (5)
I believe the answer is:
extra
'more' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'old method to lift up' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'ex'.
'method' becomes 'art'.
'to lift up' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'art' written backwards gives 'tra'.
'ex'+'tra'='EXTRA'
(Other definitions for extra that I've seen before include "Possibly a bad ball" , "person in shot?" , "Supplemental" , "Auxiliary" , "One in crowd scene" .)
