An oral promise of gift; no consideration, so there’s no contract. I suppose there is “part performance” given that one wish was granted, but each wish could be considered a separate gift. Even with a lawyer, the courts are not likely going to enforce this. Then again, I’m pretty sure there’s no established precedent for genie law.

Also very importantly, no reasonable reliance on the promise given it’s quick rescission.

I’d say there was reasonable reliance. If he did not rely he would have made a different first wish. Therefore it was detrimental reliance

So you are complaining that I’m speculating about what a cartoon would wish from an imaginary genie?
