I cast Major image, and make it appear as though I cast "gate" and through the gate comes some evil creature that can simply think the enemy to death.
here's the catch, I silent and still the spell, and have eschew materials...
so I perform the Verbal and Somantic components of the "Gate" spell instead...
how would you handle this, bluff check? opposed by spellcraft?

Well, the only thing I can come up with as far as RAW is a skill trick from Complete Scoundrel: False Theurgy.

It's about the same idea, casting a spell, but misleading others to think it's another spell, but there are a few slight differences from what you are attempting to do.

Assuming you really know how to cast Gate I would not allow any chance to detect that it was wrong--you can perform the steps with 100% accuracy. The Gate itself and the the critter that steps through the gate are another matter--there are normal chances to figure out they are fake.
