a flying kiss
I'm not sure how transparent this is but I droped a few hints that Aziraphele was a forger. He made fake passports that "saved many Jews from certain death". I based this story on a real one, the story of the humanitarian forger — Adolfo Kaminsky.
This is just a headcanon I chose to believe in. Aziraphale is a character that in many ways doesn't appear what you expect him to be. The fact that he's not so good at magic tricks might not necessarily mean that he's bad at tricking in general. And I'm sure he could keep this part of his life as a secret even from Crowley.
“Silence was always of the utmost importance,” Kaminsky says. “One doesn't have the right to put other people's lives in danger.” — “Fighting Nazis with Fakes” by Nora Reinhardt translated from the German by Jan Liebelt.
