A team of neurological surgeons have figured out howMichael Jackonachieved the gravity-defying, 45-degree forward tilt he performed live in front of thousands of screaming fans. It turns out this "mind-boggling" dance move, first seen in the 1987"Smooth Criminal"video, was actually a clever illusion that entailed a great deal of core strength, alongside secret hooks and heels. Fans were amazed and perplexed after seeing Jackson repeat the feat live on-stage, and completely fooled, although spinal experts can now describe, in detail, how it was biomechanically possible. Writing in theJournal of Neurosurgery: Spine, the three neurosurgeons said: "Several fans, including the authors, have triedto copy this move and failed, often injuring themselves in their endeavours. ""You can bend a maximum of 25 or 30 degrees forward before you fall on your face," lead author Dr. Manjul Tripathi tellsCNN, "I tried to do it, and I fell." A patent registered under Jackson's name reveals how the trick was achieved. The 'King of Pop' had designed a special shoe with a triangular slot in the heel which hooked onto a metallic peg that emerged from the stage floor at just the right moment.This allowed him to lean forward at an impossible angle without collapsing in an undignified heap. The authors stressed that despite the illusion, Jackson's physical abilities were nonetheless impressive. "Even with specially designed footwear and the support of the hitch member, the move is incredibly hard to pull off," they wrote,"requiring athletic core strength from strengthened spinal muscles and lower-limb anti-gravity muscles." "Trick or not, new forms of dancing inspired by MJ have begun to challenge our understanding of the modes and mechanisms of spinal injury. "Ever since MJ entertained us with his fabulous moves, throughout the world dancers have tried to jump higher, stretch farther, and turn faster than ever before." http://www.konbini.com/ng/entertainment/scientists-just-figured-out-how-michael-jackson-did-that-45-degree-smooth-criminal-tilt/ Mynd44, Lalasticlala The legend deserves a front page... 1 Share

☣ ☠ ∆ Yeah .... I knew this before then I confirmed it when I watched one of his live performances and I saw that the dancers including Michael Jackson left the centre stage to the right side of the stage, the light went off and came on. Alas! They are all on the 45degrees lean. Just then I noticed one of the dancers when he wanted to continue dancing his shoe glued to the floor and he could not move properly though the mad dancer blended almost immediately with the choreography. That was when I knew something was crazily fishy Those guys are good actually. They are world dancers ∆ ☣ ☠ |
