=== Q: Did Michael Jackson use Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths (STEM) to enhance his Art (STEAM)? ===
<WRAP box center 87%>
He was Michael Jackson. He could do anything. So when fans saw him do the impossible on the dance floor, they never thought he needed scientists to help!

But when the King of Pop and his dancers leaned at a gravity-defying 45 degrees in live performances of the 1987 hit "Smooth Criminal," it was [[http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/MichaelJackson/story?id=7941951&page=1|a secret gimmick]] -- not super-human talent -- that made it all possible.
