Who might these two be? What great 'trick' did they manage to pull, to the extent that even X, a famous author fell for it.Answer: Quoting the entertaining answer by Harish,
"They faked a bunch of fairies of pixies in a photograph. Arthur Conan Doyle (or H.G. Wells, don't remember) fell for it. The younger sibling confessed it to be a hoax... when she was, like, 80."
Quoting the more appropriate answer by Amit,
"The Cottingley Fairies taken by Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths, X was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle."
