Smashing sorcerer (6)

I believe the answer is:

wizard

I believe this is a double definition.

'smashing' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'sorcerer' is the second definition.
('wizard' can be a synonym of 'sorcerer')

(Other definitions for wizard that I've seen before include "Ripping" , "Magician, sorcerer" , "A magician, perhaps from Oz" , "Man of magic" , "Warlock" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
