Roe's Video Pick: Slinky Kung-Fu Must be Seen to be Believed

Have you ever tried to do anything more with your Slinky than taking it to a friendโ€™s house and dropping it down the stairs?
That is why I bought a Slinky.
I just discovered that there is definitely more to Slinky than meets the eye.
My search for helical spring toys came about because I thought it was a great idea to buy one for my niece for Christmas.
As I did this search, I saw a few videos pop into the search engine:
โ€œThis Guy Knows How to Play with a Slinky Rainbow Toy,โ€ โ€œCool Slinky Tricks,โ€ and โ€œChinaโ€™s Most Professional Slinky Show.โ€
There is so much more to the Slinky than was shown in the commercials back in the day.
This particular ad is the one I remember from the 80s:

So, what are the tricks that go beyond the ordinary?

Slinky Kung-Fu

This guyโ€™s clothing says Kung-Fu but his moves say Slinky-Master. He does more with a Slinky that I ever saw anyone do with a Duncan yo-yo โ€” and thatโ€™s saying something.
Every time he switches to a new move an announcer calls out the move just like in Kung-Fu.
I can not express how fantastic this is.
You just have to see it for yourself.
