I have none.
There might be something I do in a kind of ritualistic way, although I can't think of anything right now. But if I do, I do not expect 'good luck' or to avoid 'bad luck' by doing them.
It's a well known fact that touching wood prevents attacks from Siberian tigers. Haven't seen any Siberian tigers around, have you? Well?
Good job all you that continue to touch wood! Keep up the good work.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
