I read about this. It's cool seeing the actual document though.

"The song was performed live during the second leg of Jackson's 1987-88 Bad World Tour. The performance featured a dance routine modelled after the
scene from Moonwalker. By the time the 1992 Dangerous World Tour came around, this performance became a regular on Jackson tours. This time Jackson had devised
a way to perform the patented anti-gravity lean, which was featured in the Moonwalker video, on stage."

When I was younger I always though it was a camera trick.

I knew he had a patent on the device, but I still don't get how it works.
It would probably help if I actually read the document, but I didn't feel like it.

No wonder the heels of his penny loafers were always so thick!
That's awesome though.

I think that it is cool that they actually made special shoes for it, instead of just using computer generated images like everyone uses today.

I read that the Beatles owned the rights to "Happy Birthday," so maybe when MJ bought out the Beatles' rights, he got that, too.

I don't really think that the shoes take away from the fact that it's still difficult to keep your body that stiff and stand straight back up using
your own strength.
