MIchael Jackson: Icon, Creative Genius,...Inventor?

Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, wore many hats. But, surprisingly, he was also an inventor! Michael was the named inventor for the patent titled: METHOD AND MEANS FOR CREATING ANTI-GRAVITY ILLUSION.
The patent covers, in part: A system for allowing a shoe wearer to lean forwardly beyond his center of gravity by virtue of wearing a specially designed pair of shoes which will engage with a hitch member movably projectable through a stage surface. The shoes have a specially designed heel slot which can be detachably engaged with the hitch member by simply sliding the shoe wearer's foot forward, thereby engaging with the hitch member.

Michael's patent may be read in full here.
