Crossword Genius

Original, stylish hustler (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

card sharp

'hustler' is the definition.
(someone who hustles other card players)

'original stylish' is the wordplay.
'original' becomes 'card' (both can mean an unusual or eccentric person).
'stylish' becomes 'sharp' (I've seen this in another clue).
'card'+'sharp'='CARD-SHARP'

(Other definitions for card sharp that I've seen before include "one whose hands are not to be trusted" , "wicked whist whizz?" , "You won't get a good deal out of one" , "Trickster" , "cheat in casino" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
