I know this.
Tilting 45 degrees (anti-gravity tilt) is also Michael Jackson's signature move - leaning forward while standing and rebounding backwards. The secret turns out to be the "anti-gravity dancing shoes" he invented. After wearing it, the whole person can tilt straight forward 45 degrees without falling down, which is breathtaking.
Origin
It is said that in order to enhance the visual effect of himself and the dancers when dancing, Jackson often designed some forward-leaning movements against gravity. At first, Jackson used a safety belt around his waist to complete this type of action, so the classic forward 45-degree + rotation action can often be seen in his music videos. Later, this method became unrealistic in concerts. Because the rope tied around the waist was impossible to install and remove during live performances, and would also restrict body movements, he determined to invent "anti-gravity shoes."
Jackson and two costume designers reserved a hook position on the heel of the special shoes. When he needs to lean forward, a row of hooks rises from the stage. At this time, the stage will create other visual effects to attract the audience's attention. Jackson and the dancers take the opportunity to slide the heels onto the hooks to fasten them, and then perform forward leaning performances. This is to defy gravity. Of course, even so, it is inseparable. Jackson and other dancers work hard, rehearse and practice carefully, which is inseparable from strong back muscles and body balance control.
The masterpiece is of course "SmoothCriminal".
Text Analysis
The 45-degree forward tilt performed in the MV of the song "SmoothCriminal" is original and was patented on October 26, 1993. Right, the patent is called "Methods and Means for Creating Anti-Gravity Illusion".
It is the legendary 45-degree tilt without falling, Michael Jackson's classic performance in the MV "Smooth Criminal". Various explanations have been proposed for this "anti-gravity tilt". Some talk about hanging steel wires, and some talk about adhesive soles. Here's a picture that seems to solve the mystery. It turns out that the only thing that keeps it from tilting at 45 degrees is a hard sleeve on the ankle.
For ordinary fans, this trick is obviously not that easy to practice. First of all, Jackson and two partners applied for a patent for this invention as early as 1993. According to rumors, Aaron Kwok also performed at the concert, and he made a special trip to the United States to seek advice from Jackson. In this way, it becomes even more difficult to prevent the anti-gravity tilt from being lost.
