Students cramming for this year's college entrance exam are putting their faith in magic – specifically, in a batch of so-called "Blessed Pens" that were supposedly blessed at the birthplace of Confucius, the Xiangtan Evening News reported.

Psychiatrists suggested the good-luck pens might have a positive placebo effect on anxious students, but they need ability more than luck to succeed. |
