Lai also described a talisman that allows its users to seduce others: "That spell involves taking a strand of hair from the target person, affixing it to a certain talisman, dissolving it in boiling water, and drinking it. The target person will then find the practitioner irresistible for about two hours," Lai said.
Is all of this a bit too fantastic? Perhaps, but Lai is quick to remind skeptics that his academy is no fly-by-night, voodoo school -- after all, his students, according to him, include Academia Sinica professors, doctors of Western medicine, civil servants, accomplished businessmen, and -- since last week -- American diplomats.
