Michael Jackson Smooth Criminal trick

Sat Jun 24, 2006 8:28 pm

Discover the secret behind the 45 degree lean in the Smooth Criminal video and in the live performance.

Michael Jackson and two of his costume designers obtained a US patent (US5255452) in 1993 on "Methods and Means for Creating Anti Gravity Illusion". The invention outlines how a special pair of shoes attaches to a stage to allow leaning forward beyond the centre of gravity of the wearer of the shoes. A case study of this patent is presented here.
