Pretty sure we saw this done best, in Flash Gordon. But getting into their head is the best part.

Today we learn of the Hand Puppet God, Glycon.

Created around the time of the Roman Caesar Marcus Aurelius, in Macedonia, by a former child pr******te who worked in a medicine show named Alexander, also referred to as the False Prophet Alexander.
He claimed to be the prophet of the new coming of Asclepius, the serpent that twines around the physician staff.
In loincloth in the marketplace he declared to the masses that the prophecy has a new twist. He had had false tablets about the prophecy made and buried at a Secondary Location. So he takes the assembled masses to find and dig them up, and Lo they say, Go Forth To A Third Location, like a Scientology scavenger hunt.
He runs to where he's buried in egg in the temple of Apollo. He opens the egg and a small snake falls out. He shouts LO! again, See ya in 7 days!

He hides in his house for a week,at the end of seven days, people come to visit him and there is a giant Macedonian snake wrapped around him that ends in a human puppet head! The head is described as being made of plaster with flax for hair but operated in shadow. It gives prophecies for one and a third drachmas. Average workman day pay a was one drachma a day.
He starts pulling in about eighty thousand drachma (80k) a year.

He's mostly written about by the historian Lucian.
Who I have a sneaking suspicion is partially the inspiration of Lucian the librarian in Dreams library from the Sandman.

Glycon actually continued on. There are coins with his image that have been found and statements he will save people from plague clouds.

Behold the might that is Glycon!

Now you can use magic to Curse a Friendemy or National sports team as they did in Ancient Greece or Rome!

You can probably get away with some tin snips, taking the top and bottom off a soda can and using a galvanized nail, should work.

These handwritten hexes were believed to carry sinister powers that could 'bind' rivals in sports, law and love.
