Straight out of Magiks world, but it did make me think "why am I not supprised"...

Some nut bar of ATS said:
He shook a few peoples hands in a normal style and on spotting a certain white haired chap, he pushed (slightly) his way across the room to shake his hand but grabbed him in a peculiar way (see video) - what's the thoughts? Just a bit of randomness? Some weirdo Masonic (not subtle enough) type thing? Or what?

There is a video of the shake in the thread.

Looks like they tried to grab each others hands differently and the ended up doing a dodgy handshake? Don't see anything special about that myself.

Theguy · 25 Sep 2009 at 00:13

Could it just be they were old mates? or would that be too easy?

leaskovski · 25 Sep 2009 at 00:15

lol, nah, way too easy! I want something interesting, not a run of the mill cockup.

Yes, this is probably a run of the mill **** up

Hands attached and waggled. Mission accomplished.

The traditional method of clasping hands is so oldschool anyway.

No way masonic. Moronic maybe.

That's not a Freemason handshake, its a lot more subtle than that.

GB makes my skin crawl.

sanaxe1 · 25 Sep 2009 at 00:24

Looks pretty similar?

dooo doooooo doo do doooo doooo dooooooooooooooo

teaboy5 · 25 Sep 2009 at 00:28

Now come on, you must admit, that doesn't look like a mistake. He even pushed the guy out of the way. And it does look very like that picture.

But what good is a secret handshake that everybody knows and why would you do it in a room filled with reporters?

vincent1989 · 25 Sep 2009 at 00:34

probably an old boy handshake, in the same house at uni or something

mmj_uk · 25 Sep 2009 at 00:34

It just looked as if the old bloke was stretching and going for the handshake below and Gordo didn't see it coming.

They have all kind of kind of ceremonial grips and gestures they use in private, not to mention very odd little silk apron thingys.

They're all at it.

The number of mentalists on that forum is staggering. Thank God we've only got magick and his small clan of nutjobs

Auraomega · 25 Sep 2009 at 00:43

That really doesn't look like a slip of the hand, so to speak. However, as stupid as the UK power can sometimes be, I doubt if he were part of a 'secret' organisation he would show it while cameras are around.

As much as I like a conspiracy (don't look at me like that, I'm on series 7 of the X-Files

) I think theres got to be some sort of sensible explaination.

Well he does only have one eye and is rumoured to be going blind in the other....

Amagad he's got a claw!
