  "account": "Maisie Williams, known for her role in \"Practical Magic 2,\" has revealed that she once enlisted the help of an Etsy witch to boost her career. At the European Premiere of the film, Williams admitted to speaking with British Vogue, explaining that she paid an online mystic to assist her in securing a movie role. The actress stated that the witch provided her with specific words to say nightly, which she followed religiously – \"every night.\" However, despite her dedication, the spell ultimately failed, with Williams admitting, \"It didn't happen!\"\n\nBeyond her experience with online witchcraft, Williams does engage in other superstitions. When discussing British beliefs, she explained that she avoids walking over three consecutive drains, a common superstition in the UK that is considered bad luck. While she doesn't fully subscribe to this belief, Williams admits to having crossed paths with it multiple times, but insists that she does it out of a sense of comfort and control in an otherwise uncontrollable situation.",
