Hello, fellow imPorts.
[The feed displays a young man, around 17 or 18-- but the air he gives off is somehow older, more self assured than you'd expect from a teenager. He's dressed sharply in an expensively well-tailored suit; his concession to the heat was to forgo the tie and leave the top button undone. In his breast pocket, a neatly folded handkerchief square peeps out. The overall image is painfully British.]
Having seen a few young people discuss their worries about being ready for schooling in September, I would like to offer my services as a tutor to those in need. Though the history and geography of my own world is rather different, I'm quite proficient in most areas of mathematics and science, including algebra, statistics, geometry, trigonometry, physics and chemistry.
Additionally, I'm fluent in French, Czech, Hebrew and Latin should anyone desire to learn another language-- not that it is strictly necessary, here.
I admit though, that is only one part of my inquiry.
In fact, I'm eager to continue here some of the work that I performed back home. I have consulted with the police department on numerous occasions to help with their investigations, have a working knowledge of the law such as it exists in my own world, and have also some experience liaising with the press. If anyone knows of any available job openings that could make use of my abilities, I would be in your debt.
Thank you.

It could-- but it won't.

[THAT'S A WHOPPING GREAT LIE IF EVER THERE WAS ONE.
Mandrake, however, believes he's telling the truth. Because he's a loser with no self-awareness.]

If anybody could do it, anybody would do it. Magicians, however, are not "anybody." Our rigorous training from an early age is testament to that. And to even be accepted as an apprentice to be trained, one must first pass a series of aptitude tests.
That said, if you've properly learned the craft and haven't gotten lazy, or aren't prone to panicking, if you work slowly and carefully, there's no reason to find yourself bested by a demon.

I guess it does.
