Michael Jackson

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer, philanthropist and businessman. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he made his debut onto the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1969, then began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group. Referred to as the “King of Pop”^[2] in subsequent years, his 1982 album Thriller remains the world’s best-selling record of all time^[3] and four of his other solo studio albums are among the world’s best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995).

Jackson popularized The Lean in his music video for Smooth Criminal, and later had the illusion redesigned for use in his live shows. Watch him and his back up dancers perform the illusion at approximately 3 minutes and 50 seconds into the video. (We here at the Magic Video Blog miss him dearly! Oh, and who’s BAD? He’s bad!)
