knock on wood

постучать по дереву (чтобы не сглазить)

Examples from texts

"Knock on wood, Donnie be good!" he says merrily, and as he steps into the brilliant rectangle of light falling through the stable door, Callahan sees he's carrying something in his left hand.
"Постучать по дереву, это к удаче", - радостно возвещает он и, когда ступает на яркий прямоугольник свете, падающего сквозь распахнутые ворота конюшни, Каллагэн видит: незнакомец что-то несет в левой руке.
