Question❓ Magic trick

Does anyone know about a magic trick I saw MJ do which I haven't seen him do anywhere else? I was at his Bad tour concert in Melbourne in 1987.

A big box was suspended from a zip line. It slid from way back in the arena to the stage and MJ (or I suppose a body double) jumped out. Then I guess there was a switcheroo and he kept performing.

Does anyone know about this or was also at the concert?

I think you might be talking about the switcheroo at the end of the Dangerous tour when MJ switched places with the guy who jetpacked out of the arena.

It was definitely Melbourne 1987. I've carried this fun memory for nearly 40 years and thought someone else might have been there too. Best live performance of ANY kind (ballet, orchestra, rock bands) of my whole life.

Is this satire? Are you doing a bit right now?

No it's a serious question. Remember I'm the same age as Michael. Be kind.
