If it is, is it legal to make moose antlers on the side of your head when declarer is in his hand?

I dunno. I was just trying to help Gordon and rephrase the opening post. I have no opinion on the matter (or at least my opinion was not involved in writing my prior post) and if I misstated the opening post, it is only through my poor reading comprehension and/or my poor phrasing, not my ignorance of the laws.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I emailed the English Bridge Union about this because I was writing a book for beginners. Dummy is allowed to put their hand on the table when the lead is in dummy because they are helping declarer to avoid a breach of the rules (lead from the wrong hand) not aiding the play of the cards, ie the choice of card from dummy. Obviously pointing to a card is a breach but a consistent hand on the table is not, according to the EBU laws and ethics department head.

I have a couple of those up here, too, and it's really annoying. And when told about it, they say "oh that's interesting", and stop - for the day.

"I told you yesterday that you're not allowed to do that. I'm now penalizing you 10% of a top."
