If you could have one wish...?
Sweet baby Christian Jesus, no, that was just poor life choices!
I professionally do a lot of those too.
*extends a hand* Jeremy Fisher. You can call me Fish. Or Jeremy. Or Geronimo. Or God-King of Las Vegas Boulevard. You?

'Penny Lane is in my ears, and in my eyes...'
I stand around on the Strip in Vegas and make people look dumb until I get given money.

The song, or the job description? *flashes a grin*
Just checking-- you're too young for the song, too. *throws a wink*
Okay, demonstration it is then. You got any cigarettes on you-- nah, of course you don't. *he rummages in his pockets and plucks out a pack of cheap Marlboros, then hands one over to Penny to be examined if she'll take it*
Perfectly normal cigarette, right?

[The cigarette does indeed appear to be normal.]
[Jeremy goes through some motions of shaking his hands out, rolling up his sleeves, running his fingers through his hair, and other distracting gestures. He takes the cigarette back and holds it in one hand*, then uses his other to start making 'magicky hand gestures' over the cigarette, thus blocking Penny's direct view of it.]
Cigarettes are bad for you though! So don't smoke, and don't start if you already smoke. If you can promise me you won't smoke, I will make this cigarette disappear!

Great! You're at no risk for lung cancer then. More for me!
[Another wave of the hand and he pops back his thumb to hide the cigarette, as per the trick. Jeremy's just an ordinary human from an ordinary world, so sleight-of-hand magic tricks are as good as it gets for him.]
Ta-da! Eradicating cancer like the noble guy I am.

[If he notices the snickering, he assumes it's for his self-deprecating patter and not for the trick itself. He folds his chest to his hands for a dramatic bow, making sure to keep the cigarette out of sight.]
Thank you, thank you, I'll eradicate cancer all week.
[He straightens up with the cigarette between his lips and a waggle of his brows as he fishes out his matches.]
So: I make people feel dumb, and amazed, and laugh, until they give me money. Capish?

*flips a salute with one hand as he lights up his cigarette* Badabing, badaboom. Insult comedy and the occasional performance upon harmonica or bongo drums served free of charge, if I like ya.
Oh yeah? How many have you cannibalized, Princess Pintsize?
I'd say you're an adorable little cannibal, but all that protein won't make you taller.
Given that most of us weren't born taller than two feet, I think that goes for everyone.
