Frame-by-frame analysis of Tom Fischer's leg-lengthening reveals that the 'short' leg is swinging outward, not growing — the foot that supposedly lengthened is actually the one moving, not the short one.

Mike uses a zoomed-in frame analysis showing a background line as a fixed reference point. He demonstrates that the line is moving relative to the feet — meaning the legs are being swung to the right, not growing. Key observations: (1) the foot that supposedly lengthened is the one doing the movement; (2) the foot angle changes (toe pointing out, heel shifting inward); (3) in the after shot the allegedly shorter leg hasn't moved but the longer leg has moved closer. Mike also references a documentary by Derren Brown who exposed a shoe-pulling trick, though he distinguishes this from what Fischer is doing.
