The Rolling Stones guitarist and founder of the band with Mick Jagger has a double superstition before any show. He doesn’t go onstage until he’s had a Shepherd’s pie (with meat, mashed potatoes, and sometimes cheese). But it’s important that he cut the pie himself, otherwise he doesn’t do the show. From Keith’s background, apparently the recipe works….

Radcliffe rose to fame at a very young age, when he was chosen to play Harry Potter. Born in London in 1989, he is not just a movie man, his great passion is football.

Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the greatest football players of recent times, and they also have their superstitions. The Barcelona star tries to be the last to enter the field. Cristiano Ronaldo, before taking a free kick, stops in front of the ball, takes three steps back (not one more), opens his legs and takes a deep breath. The world of football, like that of tennis, is full of rituals. Perhaps the most curious case is that of René Higuita (former Colombian goalkeeper), who said he always wore the same underwear during games.

Each country has its own superstitions. In some people knock on wood, in others people don’t like to see a black cat. But countries also have rituals to bring luck at the end of the year:

Spain and some Latin American countries: eat twelve grapes, one every second, before midnight.
Switzerland: drop a drop of cream on the floor for good luck.
Philippines: women welcome the new year with a polka dot dress. The round shape resembles coins and brings prosperity and fortune.
Denmark: people welcome the new year by jumping out of a chair at midnight. Also, people break some dishes in front of their neighbors’ houses, to ensure a good future.
Brazil, Paraguay and Chile: People eat lentils at New Year’s Eve to have abundance and prosperity. And, of course, those who are on the beach and are superstitious jump seven waves.
