I watched a leg lengthening on the video at around 1:25 The video seems consistent with the leg actually lengthening.
1. I compared the wrinkles on the jeans on both left and right. The wrinkle on the calf of the right pant leg moved forward in relation to the wrinkle on the left pant leg. I also checked the discoloration on the pavement to see if there was sideward movement. Neither of these are consistent with the 'shoe trick' idea., that he was pulling the shoe.
I suppose someone could argue that he was pulling out her leg. That doesn't seem to fit well with his holding the shoe. One could argue that she was a plant and that she moved the leg out from the hip. Physiologically, that seems more likely. He asks her if she feels that, and she says she does. If he'd have pulled her shoe, we would have expected the wrinkle in the jeans around the shin to stay in the same place.
I don't know all the details of Todd White's theology. My impression is that he seems sincere about healing. I grew up around people who are sincere about healing, though a bit different doctrinally and culturally. I am sincere when I pray for sick people. I don't put plants in the audience. I have not been around that to my knowledge. I've heard about it and seen a video clip about some trickery. I am not saying it could not happen. But I also believe that God heals, and that God answers prayers from Christians who may sometimes even say stupid things or misstate or even misunderstand aspects of doctrine, and that critics can say stupid things and misunderstand doctrine themselves. I have not explored certain allegations I have read allusions to regarding Todd White's doctrines.
I just think here we have video evidence that is not consistent with the 'shoe trick' or shifting left to right or right to left.
Here is the video. I examined one example of leg lengthening.
