Guessing Game

“I tap with a hammer.” You must be a physician.
“I pull out rabbits.” You must be a magician.
“I pull some strings.” You must be a musician.
“I watch their weights.” You must be a dietitian.
“I bless their souls.” You must be a mortician.
“I look them in their eyes.” You must be an optician.
“I color those cheeks.” You must be a beautician.
“I count my blessings.” You must be a statistician.
“I make promises.” You must be a politician.
