I cannot see how such a hand position can be anything but by a conscious effort, that is so un-natural!...his hand signal becomes very worrying.

can someone please enlighten me as to what this actually means? I can see where you are coming from as it does look un-natural and well he must have known he was doing it.

Oh noes! William Cracknell is a Heavy Metal Head!
Or maybe he's a Texas Longhorns fan.
Or maybe he is an Umpire for his Little League team and he's practicing his 2 strikes sign.
Or maybe he's using it as a charm or guard against the evil eye lest his soul be stolen by the camera.
Or maybe he's letting the world know that his wife has been unfaithful and he is a cuckold.
Although you are right, maybe he is following in the footsteps of the President of the Italian Republic Giovanni Leone who shocked the country when, visiting Naples during an outbreak of cholera, shook the hands of the patients with one hand, and with the other, behind the back, made the corna.
Personally, I need something a little more damning than a hand-gesture to be convinced of conspiratorial affiliations.

Sorry to keep posting on this, I think this is important.
Some people have found the life-speed clip too hard to see the signal.
Here's my first ever use of a video editor to try zoom and slow-motion, hope this helps.
