The stage lighting is a distraction. Special shoes are patented. Mike leans forward 45 degrees in the Smooth Criminal video and performs the stunt of leaning forward 45 degrees in the concert. As early as 1993, Mike applied for a patent number (US5255452) for both inventions. The patent name is "Get rid of the illusion of gravity". In the original "MOONWALK" movie, the performer leaned forward, relying on a rope around the actor's waist. Of course, the rope is processed in the later period of MV, which is invisible to the audience. The angle at which the actor leans forward depends on the mechanical control of the ceiling. At that time, you can even see a 45-degree forward rotation in the MV. Later, this method was unrealistic in concerts. Because the rope tied to the waist is impossible to install and remove in live performances. Secondly, the rope installed in advance restricted the dance movements of the actors' arms and bodies, and Mike thought of another way. . . . . The performance in the concert needs the tacit cooperation of all links to complete. First of all, we need dazzling stage lights, smoke generators and lasers. When Mike needs to perform a special performance, MJ will approach the "special area" of the stage with the dancers. Usually, the lights in this area will be very dim at this time. The "villain" played by the staff will immediately go on stage and perform with explosives for a few seconds. Distract the audience and give MJ time to win. When MJ is ready, the "special area" will be lit up. Mike poured out 45 degrees in front of him! ! The key detail lies in MJ's special shoes. As can be seen from the picture, the back of the shoes is mechanically connected with the stage, which can firmly fix the body support point. Technical details: the concert method overcomes the deficiency of the rope system and can make the concert go on continuously. So as to achieve the visual effect that the center of gravity of the body exceeds the support point. At the same time, the "hook-catching" system of the stage can be accurately and timely extended and retracted through the control of precision instruments, so as to achieve the purpose of not being discovered. In particular, even so, it is inseparable from the hard exercise, careful rehearsal and running-in of Mike and the actors. Can not do without strong back muscles and body balance control! ! !
