The secret of being able to tilt 45 degrees is in the heel. There is a groove in the heel, which can be fixed with bolts protruding on the stage. Even so, MJ's strong back muscles and body balance are needed.
There are two holes in the stage floor, and the bolts just pass through the bolts that fix the floor and heel.
Ankle protection equipment to prevent sprained ankle. In Michael Jackson's concerts, he often shows his unique signature moves, one of which is like magic: he leans forward until he makes a 45-degree angle with the ground without landing, and then slowly retracts his body to be vertical. This is the so-called "anti-gravity leaning forward". A few days ago, the American media revealed the super secret of this action: that is Jackson's exclusive patented shoes! The reporter specially contacted the US Patent Office and found the original patent document with the patent number of 5255452.
At first, Jackson fastened a seat belt around his waist and completed the classic 45-degree forward rotation, but this method was not practical at the concert. Jackson and his two fashion designers found another way, working hard on dance boots and stage floor. They even applied for a patent for this scheme in the US Patent Office. Patent name: method and device for generating "anti-gravity illusion"; Inventors: Michael Jackson, Michael Bush, Dennis tompkins; Date of application:1June 29, 992; Registration date:199365438+1October 26th.
Knowing this mechanism, we can uncover the secret of Jackson's "leaning forward against gravity". When the song is performed, Jackson and the dancers will go to a certain place on the stage at the same time, and the lights are dim and no one can be seen. At this time, Jackson will perform for a few seconds, and its significance lies in distracting the audience.
At the same time, the staff under the stage lifted the nut and fixed it. After the dancers are in place, make sure that the nuts protrude from the ground, and then fix the two heels on the two nuts ... The stage lights are on, Jackson and all the dancers collectively tilt at a 45-degree angle, and then slowly pull up collectively. After the action, Jackson and all the dancers slipped back and lifted their feet to leave. Finally, the people in the audience put the nuts away and the stage was restored. The whole process of "anti-gravity illusion" is only five seconds.
