Hussam: How Does Michael Bend Toward the Ground in the Smooth Criminal Video—Even During Live Performances?

How does Michael in the Smooth Criminal video—and even in live performances while dancing—bend toward the ground up to 30 degrees?

In the video of Smooth Criminal, while dancing, Michael and his surroundings are connected to a rope, but in the editing of this video, the rope has been removed using computer effects. However, in the live performance, Michael and his dance group wear shoes that are Michael’s own invention and have also been registered in the U.S. patent book. In this way, a triangular heel is placed underneath, where the body’s center of gravity lands. And by means of a clamp and the magnetic property created in the scene, Michael and those around him can bend toward the ground to a great and unusual extent.
