Let’s find out how Jackson performed his phenomenal «anti-gravity lean» trick! 🤫🪄 The world hasn’t known a more iconic and influential music legend than him! 🎤🧑🎤Science explains how the star did that fantastic task! 🧐 Discover his secret in this article! 👇
The significant contribution and irreplaceable role of M. Jackson in the big world of music can hardly be overestimated. He gave the world such hit songs that still captivate millions and make him one of the most influential music legends.
The first time the King of Pop introduced his «anti-gravity tilt» trick was in 1988 in his video for the song «Smooth Criminal». His incredible talent and phenomenal dance movements made him a true idol among millions of listeners and viewers.
Surprisingly enough, he leaned over 45 degrees which is unbelievable. One of the possible explanations for this was that he was held by cables. But there were actually no cables on stage.
Then how?
Many scientists got interested in this fantastic trick and found out that with a normal tilt only the upper part of the body is actively used and it is only the muscles that are activated in straightening the spine. So, the whole tension fell on the calves and tendons.
They ensure that anyone can perform it even without specially designed tools. However, it is truly a tricky trick and requires muscle strength and a lot of practice. Jackson is believed to use special shoes which differed from ordinary ones in the trick heel.
