2. Wear accessories that cover the upper, and the actual effect is like a pair of white socks.
3. The V-shaped heel hooks the nut protruding from the floor to complete 45 inclination.
The secret of the floor
1. A small hole was punched in the stage floor so that a pair of nuts connected by a chain could protrude.
2. Block it with another horizontal plate to prevent it from slipping.

In Michael Jackson's concerts, he often shows his unique signature movements: he leans forward until he makes a 45-degree angle with the ground without landing, and then slowly recovers his vertical position.
This is the so-called "anti-gravity leaning forward", and the whole action is like ignoring the existence of gravity, which makes everyone who has seen it applaud. 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.

Jackson's plan was patented.
1988, Michael Jackson released the musical "Walking on the Moon", which lasted for 93 minutes and consisted of a series of short videos. In the film, Jackson danced a nightclub-style dance in the 1930s and made an "anti-gravity lean forward". At first, Jackson tied a safety belt around his waist to complete this classic 45-degree forward rotation, but this method was not practical in concerts.
Jackson and his two fashion designers (Michael Bush and Dennis tompkins) took a different approach and worked hard on dancing boots and the stage floor. They even applied for a patent for this project in the US Patent Office.

The staff raised the nut, and the light and smoke matched together.
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, the dancer who plays the devil performs, and the camera switches to him to keep up with a beam of light. He will perform for a few seconds, and the significance of this move is to distract the audience.
The staff under the stage lifted the nut and fixed it. When the dancer is in position, make sure that the nut has reached the ground, and then fix the two heels on the two nuts. As soon as the light came on, Jackson and all the dancers collectively tilted at an angle of 45 degrees, and then collectively pulled up slowly. 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" only takes five seconds, but even with these fixation systems, you should keep your body straight when you lean, and your leg, waist, back and shoulder muscles need long-term training, which is a combination of intelligence, physical fitness and skills.
