打小人 Ritual Walkthrough
Step 1 Write the name
The practitioner writes the name (or symbolic identity) of the person causing trouble on a piece of paper. In this case Khamenei.
Note: Need to be the full name. Using 123 or other names is not counted.
Step 2 Create the effigy
A small paper human figure is cut out to represent that person. It will cost more if you have a life size figure.
Step 3 Summon the ritual
Incense is lit and small offerings may be placed. The idea is to formally acknowledge the ritual.
Step 4 Beat the “villain”
The practitioner repeatedly strikes the paper effigy, traditionally using a shoe or sandal to symbolically punish the person causing harm.
Step 5 Remove bad luck
The effigy is then burned or disposed of, symbolizing the removal of bad influence from the client’s life.
Typical Cost
In the most famous public location, under the Canal Road Flyover in Hong Kong, the ritual is commonly performed by elderly women who specialize in it.
Typical price range:
Basic ritual: about HKD 50–100 (~USD 6–13)
More elaborate rituals with offerings: about HKD 150–300
If you do not want to fork out the money, you can DIY like how it is practiced in Tehran.
