A lot of young basketball players try to improve their vertical leap by any means necessary.

There are all sorts of contraptions out there that kids can buy, and there's no substitute for good old-fashioned strength training.

But it appears one man has found the secret: A magic backpack with wings.

Guy Dupuy is a pro dunker known for innovating some of the craziest dunks known to man. Now we know why he's able to jump so high -- it's got to be the backpack.

We'll see if Dupuy continues to incorporate the backpack into his future dunks. Maybe he'll move on to a dunk satchel. Perhaps an in-flight man purse?

Only time will tell, but we'll certainly be watching.
