At first this looks like little more than a fun day at the Santa Monica Pier, with a street performer on stilts dancing to Michael Jackson music. After a few seconds we were ready to say, "Stop, we've had enough," to his version of "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough."

But stick around, because before you know it, a nearly microscopic Michael wannabe steps up, steals the show and shows us the magic. We're not quite sure about all the tyke's crotch-grabbing, but his moves are primo. A Mini-Me Thriller!

We shouldn't be surprised by fan enthusiasm for Michael Jackson. After all, one of his gloves recently sold for $350,000.
