The patent consists of a system for shoes with a hitch that
permit a person on stage to lean forward beyond his or her center of gravity.
The shoe comes with two engagement means for raising a hitch mechanism and
keeping in place to prevent the person from falling. For a visual image or
video, this is similar to Michael Jackson’s famous anti gravity stance in his
video Smooth Criminal.
The prior art includes patent U.S. 5042173, which discloses
footwear that can be worn by astronauts to assist movement on a zero gravity
surface. Prior art also addresses many similar visual affects that are used in
media performances and television, but those are different from this.
