The Master Of The Slinky Toy

The Slinky toy is fun to have, but I had no idea there were people who wants to master the art of Slinky manipulation. It’s called Slinking and this video introduces us to Josh Jacobs who is obviously the Slinky master.

The video was shared by WIRED:

Did you play with slinkys when you were younger? Josh Jacobs has taken a childhood toy and turned it into a visually stunning art form. Slinky manipulation is a fairly new practice, starting around 2010. Josh got into “slinking” eight years ago when watching an incredible Chinese performer do things he never thought possible with a slinky. Now, Josh is one of the best slinky manipulators in the world.
