There are even superstitions about superstitions.Those superstitions tell people how to reverse bad luck.

　　When the Japanese bump heads，they immediately bump heads again.According to a Japanese superstition，the first bump means their parents will die，but the second bump “erases” the first bump.

　　To reverse bad luck in general，people turn around three times，turn their pockets inside out，or put their hats on backwards.

　　In the United States，baseball players sometimes wear their caps backwards when their team is losing.It looks silly，but the baseball players do not mind if it helps them win the game.
