Any reviews for The Lean. I saw this at Hocus Pocus and it sounds so cool. With this I guess you can lean all the way forward until your hand can just about touches the ground. And you can do it anywhere.

You can do it anywhere, as long as your wearing the shoes and have the other 'something' with you. It's best on a stage with a black floor.
Very cool effect though, I must say. I've always liked this. I don't own it so I can't really say too much about it, other than that I think it's a great looking effect. -Corey

Well, you can do it anywhere but "stage" is best for deception.

Michael Jackson invented it, and patented it.... but it looks as if it has lapsed.
It's still public record though... http://www.google.com/patents/US5255452 |

I recall an old black and white photo hanging at the Magic Castle of an older magician, perhaps from the Vaudeville era, who was performing the lean. Best, MJ |

The lean was in the Wizards of Oz movie. I believe it was the tin man who used it.

He may have not invented the concept, but he did invent the method that could connect and disconnect in a performance situation.
Read the patent link. |
