According to neurosurgeons, the 45-degree tilt is almost impossible for a normal biological body. However, the King of Pop Michael Jackson used a simple trick to perform this classic dance.

In 1987, Michael Jackson’s 45-degree tilt dance in the MV Smooth Criminal conquered the world audience.

Even on the live stage, the male singer can perform the dance smoothly and skillfully. Along with the “Moonwalk”, this dance has become a legendary choreography whenever Michael Jackson is mentioned.

Many people are curious whether the king of pop is really an “extraordinary” person who can overcome the Earth’s gravity and tilt his body 45 degrees without falling face down on the ground?

Recently, the secret of this dance has been revealed. The reason Michael Jackson was able to successfully complete the 45-degree tilt dance was thanks to the shoes called Anti-gravity that he used.

On the surface, the shoe has a fairly ordinary design like many other models. However, the sole is attached with a thick layer of magnets and a V-shaped groove; The runway is also attached with two screws, and with just a light touch, the shoe can be hooked firmly to the floor.

The Truth Behind Michael Jackson’s 45 Degree Lean Dance
The secret lies in the specially designed sole.
When preparing to perform the tilt dance, the stage lights will dim, Michael Jackson and the dancers will move into the area where screws are attached to hold the heel in place. Doctors assessed that even with the support device, Michael Jackson still has good balance and excellent physical strength to be able to successfully perform this move.

The “Magic Shoes” were inspired by astronauts and were invented by Michael Jackson himself with the help of two others. Thanks to this invention, Michael Jackson and his colleagues received a patent in 1993.

Michael Jackson died in 2009.
However, a few years later, at a show in Moscow, Michael Jackson fell while performing this move despite using the “magic” shoes.

Many people also followed Michael Jackson’s example of using assistive devices to perform the 45-degree tilt dance but were unsuccessful and even suffered injuries.
