Hi I'm new to this forum :)

I'm after help on a Cryptic Crossword:

Greeting hides brace-up in famous magician (7)

and

A horse and sheep could be confused (7)

I have no letters on both yet.....

Thanks in advance for any help

A horse... Anagram, A Nag and a Ram.
Greetings... Houdini.

You're very welcome.

I should have said that Houdini was Duo (brace), reversed ('up') inside ('hides') Hi ('greeting').

PS. It's easier to reply if you give the clues numbers, any numbers. It's also quite good to say which crossword it is, which magazine or newspaper it's from.

.........if you enter ANAGRAM into Google, it comes up with the helpful message "Did you mean NAG A RAM?"
