One known to disappear during work (8)

I believe the answer is:

magician

(Other definitions for magician that I've seen before include "Wizard like cartoon Mandrake" , "Conjuror, wizard" , "Person with a wand or rabbit in his hat?" , "trickster" , "Conjuror or sorcerer" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
