Thank you all for your great comments.
I searched the internet for photo illusions and tricks and found this page //www.flickr.com/photos/w00kie/sets/180637/
So I began with taking a photo of this setup with the hand using my brother as a model. Do not wear any long sleeves since it makes part 2 more difficult. Then I uploaded the image into the laptop, put the laptop in place and adjusted the image through the viewfinder of the camera to find out if things matched. Then my brother put on a shirt with long sleeve and took care not to show any part of the hand. I adjusted the hand according to the perspective of the viewfinder and "click".
It is necessary to put the camera on a tripod or somewhere where it is stable and won't move.
I was not happy about lot of things i.e. the position of the laptop image is to low, the lighting is terrible (500W handheld halogen right above scene), image not very sharp and the composition isn̢۪t that great but it got me no. 7 so me happy ;-)
This takes some practice but I dare you all to try because the final product looks great as desktop wallpaper and family, friends and/or coworkers will scratch their heads till they become bald trying to figure this one out.

Really nicely done. Talk about stop action. Black and white is a great way to show off the contrast.

I'm a sucker for these. I saw one with a cat in it once that was nicely done. This is excellent.
