Men are often fascinated by magic and enjoy reading about it. Magic has always been a source of wonder and intrigue for people, and men are no exception to this. There is something inherently captivating about the idea of defying the laws of nature and performing feats that seem impossible. For men who enjoy reading, magic provides a unique subject matter that combines elements of science, psychology, and mystery. Books on magic offer a glimpse into a world that is shrouded in secrecy and illusion, allowing readers to explore the art and craft behind creating magical illusions. In addition to the technical aspects of magic, men are drawn to the stories and histories of famous magicians.
Perhaps introduce new items to the game (Once this is done it will allow different drops from the wall of flesh.), that is one thing I can give you to start out, and make the idea a little more unique.
Initially, they are attached to the Wall of Flesh, similar to Man Eaters in the Jungle, however, if The Hungry take enough damage, they detach from the Wall of Flesh and will chase the player. With this strategy, simply drink a Gravitation Potion and use the up down controls to fly up and down around the terrain in hell, while constantly shooting at The Hungry and the Wall of Flesh.
In addition to the technical aspects of magic, men are drawn to the stories and histories of famous magicians. From Harry Houdini to David Copperfield, there is a long line of magicians who have captured the public's imagination. Reading about their lives and performances can be both entertaining and inspiring for men who have an interest in magic.
Game Mechanics Wall of Flesh Summoning with Clothier Voodoo Doll
Sometimes I wish to keep a world in pre-hardmode but want to battle the Wall of Flesh, so I think that the Wall of Flesh should be summonable with a Clothier Voodoo Doll, and when defeated, will not start hardmode.
Defeating all the other pre-hardmode bosses force no changes on your world so I feel the Wall of Flesh should have a way to be fought without forcing hardmode on you. Just like how you can fight Skeletron and not be forced to take on the dungeon, you'd have a way to fight Wall of Flesh without being forced to take on hardmode.
May or may not have its drops.

Skeletron
The clothier voodoo doll is used to summon skeletron, so if it summons wall of flesh, it would be weird. Sorry, but no support.

I would rather like it if you could have a "Faulty" guide voodoo doll. It's like the real one, but it's doesn't actually start hard mode. It could be dropped from Voodoo demons, but at a 50% chance. If you already have one in your inventory, you will not get another faulty one, instead next time, you will get the real thing.
"Wall of Clothier" I thought it was called the "Wall of Guide"
Maybe a "Faulty" version of the Ruby from the Depths suggestion as well. The Ruby is slightly "Imperfect" causing a fault in the hardmode system. The "Faulty" Voodoo doll looks rather like the same, but more plastic than wool . Since it is not the real deal, it will not convert. I see your point in this thread. I give 50% support :3.
Finally, the "Faulty" versions are weaker because "They aren't the real thing". To counter this, they will not drop much. Just some potions.
In all seriousness, I think this is a great idea! Just needs a few more changes.

This method of obtaining it would probably make a lot of people angry at voodoo demons for dropping the wrong doll.

Honestly I do not think this is a good idea once so ever. Mainly because there are a lot of Farming Method's for getting the Clothier Voodoo Doll. The Clothier Voodoo Doll is used for, and is needed to summon Skeletron. I honestly think its bad since the main voodoo doll (The Guide), is needed for it, and it would be weird if The Clothier Voodoo Doll could summon this boss. (It would also make the game unbalanced since you have obtained Hardmode Weapons, even though you have not passed into hardmode, these weapons are obtainable from the Wall Of Flesh.)

It's just a way to spawn the boss without needing a whole new item. It would cause no conflicts with the spawning of Skeletron, and would give a use to clothier dolls after finding one of them.

It wouldn't break balance as the WoF drops are awarded for defeating the Wall of Flesh. You'd still get them anyway if hardmode had started. If you can beat the Wall of Flesh then everything else in pre-hardmode is no longer challenging.
Anyway the main point of this suggestion is a way to summon and defeat WoF without activating hardmode, which I don't think is a bad idea.

The award's are the problem really. If you receive a hardmode item in pre - hardmode you instantly become 'to good', allowing the game to be unbalanced since you can almost one shot anything in the game. (The awards dropped, weapons etc.) http://terraria.wiki.gg/Wall_of_Flesh
Perhaps introduce new items to the game (Once this is done it will allow different drops from the wall of flesh.), that is one thing I can give you to start out, and make the idea a little more unique.

There is no sequence breaking here, you're acting as if the WoF drops are just handed out freely, but you have to defeat pre-hardmode's final boss. Fighting the Wall of Flesh without starting pre-hardmode doesn't make the battle any easier. If you had used the guide doll instead, you'd still would have the same drops.
As the WoF is the hardest pre-hardmode challenge there is, it would not break balance to get its drops without starting hardmode. They're balanced to be molten/jungle tier anyway. If you can defeat the WoF then nothing else in pre-hardmode would be challenging to the player, excluding the Dungeon Guardian, which wouldn't be available if you're using clothier voodoo dolls.

Reviews for "The Fox as a Guide: How Reading Can Help Men Navigate Life's Challenges"
1. Emily - 2 stars
I was really excited to read "Men fox reading magic" based on the intriguing title and promising synopsis. However, I was deeply disappointed by the actual content of the book. The plot was convoluted and confusing, making it difficult to follow along. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth, making it hard to connect or care about their struggles. Overall, I found this book to be a disappointing read that didn't live up to its potential.
2. Mark - 1 star
I couldn't even finish "Men fox reading magic" as it was such a slog to get through. The writing style was dry and lacked any sort of flow, making it an arduous task to keep reading. Additionally, the pacing was incredibly slow, and nothing seemed to be happening throughout the book. I found myself constantly waiting for something interesting to occur, but it never did. Overall, I found this book to be a complete waste of time and would not recommend it to others.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
"Men fox reading magic" had a lot of potential, but it ultimately fell flat for me. The world-building in the novel was confusing and felt underdeveloped, leaving me with many unanswered questions. The story also lacked a cohesive plot and seemed to jump from one random event to another without any clear direction. Overall, I felt disconnected from the story and couldn't fully engage with the characters or the plot. It's a shame because I had high hopes for this book, but it just didn't deliver.
