If I could choose any profession to be in, this would be one of them. I love magic tricks and hypnosis. I’m not the least bit talented, but I can easily manipulate people into doing things, such as scratching themselves. At the poker table, if I slap a person on the neck, then use my thumb and forefinger to pretend like I have a small object in my hand, then pretend to squish the object and flick it away, telling everyone that it is a flea, then pretty soon, the entire table will be scratching themselves. Works every time.

edit - this is my own invented magic trick. I didn't read about this or anything similar to it anywhere.
