So I'm currently running a 3rd level half-elf Rogue with the Charlatan archetype who pretends to be a wizard (a quarterstaff, wears robes in place of armor, carries a "spell book" that's actually filled with elven poetry etc.). As we're about to advance to level four I've been thinking of taking Major Magic (Silent Image)for my rogue talent (already snatched Minor Magic at level two).
And so I got to thinking. Since using a SLA requires no verbal or somatic components but still takes as long to cast as the normal spell, would I be able to "fill in" with gestures and chants on my own to create the impression that I'm actually casting another spell? And if so, would that be Bluff, Spellcraft or something else?

Depends,
Against any enemy spellcaster who has at least few ranks in Spellcraft, he should have easy time identifying that your spell is fake if they make a Spellcraft check. If your "spell" has an effect tho, it might still confuse spellcasters.
Against enemies which aren't educated in magic a simple Bluff might pass.
This is my opinion.
