Wizard conjures up ermine jackets (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

super

'wizard' is the definition.
(both can mean excellent)

'conjures up ermine jackets' is the wordplay.
'jackets' indicates a hidden word (the clue covers or jackets the answer).
'SUPER' is hidden within 'conjures up ermine'.

(Other definitions for super that I've seen before include "Excellent - small-part actor" , "Prefix meaning above or informally great" , "First-rate, top-notch" , "Exceptional" , "Jolly good" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
