he is no conjurer Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to give me your considered opinion concerning the interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?
By the account I have heard of him, he is no conjurer.
he is no conjurer = there are flies on him, there is lack of alertness in him, he is not a person of great abilities, he is not intelligent
