Horsemanning 

Horsmaning, or fake beheading, was reportedly a popular way to pose in a photograph in the 1920′s. Sometimes spelled horsmaning, the horsmaning photo fad derives its name from the Headless Horseman, an evil character from “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” According to internet legend, the “original” horsmaning photo on the left was found at a local flea market. Soon after its discovery, a series of horsemaning photos began trending on sites like Buzzfeed and people got inspired to recreate the horseman. Horsmaning is experiencing currently a revival and is best known as a new form of planking, owling or cone-ing.

horsemaning

The act of creating an optical illusion (usually in a photo) in which a person appears to be beheaded and holding their own head, when in reality there are actually two people in the photo.

The illusion requires two participants. The most common method involves one person laying on their back with their head flopped over the edge of a bed or platform so as to hide it from view, while the other person lays on the other side of the platform in such a manner that everything but their head is out of view. The first person then grabs on to the second person's head, and if done correctly will look like one person is laying down holding their own head.

My friend and I took a horsemaning pic today, check it out it's awesome!
