Not a photoshop, but brilliantly executed.
Hint: the grain patterns on the
"bottom" piece don't match from one
face to the next. It's easier to see if you
rotate the picture 90 degrees.
It's a great effect. I think it's two pieces
of wood stacked vertically with a bit of
shading on one face. The lengths of the
pieces are key and the screws add to the
effect.
The "back/top" piece is a normally
shaped piece of wood.
The "front/bottom" piece has been
substantially hollowed in back, given a ramp
sloping down from front to back for the other
piece to rest on, and a front wall and roof
very very thin at the closest point to
camera, so the "roof" can be peeled
up to appear the "wall" of the
upper piece (note the black line of the
join).
The screws may actually hold the pieces
together, but quite possibly there's careful
gluing in there too. Do the fingers hide a
glitch?

My only suspicion of "trickery" is whether this is a photo of the hand on a photo of the original model?!

Great illusion. I'm surprised so many people said "Photoshop" I guess they don't know much about Photoshop.
