A few notes on Joseph's post:

1. Obviously he is acting the part of a thief to prevent or delay recognition of his other skills.
2. This is an illusion cast by making use of real physical objects and actual gestures -- the lockpick and key are real. The movements of juggling and bouncing are real -- Joseph's dexterity is 19, unnaturally high for 1e human. The three balls, however, are illusory.
3. The sounds produced by all of this are truly audible and are propagating in varied directions.
4. The other goal of Joseph's actions is to buy a bit of time by paralyzing Echo with a bit of indecision and confusion, as spontaneous and creative adaptation is not among the hallmarks of derivative beings.
