spieler
Sideshow pitch man
A spieler is someone who talks glibly or persuasively, especially to attract customers or promote something.
The term often carries a slightly disreputable connotation—a carnival barker, a street vendor with practiced patter, or anyone whose smooth talk seems designed to separate you from your money: The spieler on the boardwalk promised miracles from a bottle.
