I saw a video that interested me because of all the tricks you could do with a slinky, so I decided to give it a try and boy let me tell you this thing is harder than it looks — you definitely need to practice this thing in order to get good at it. Just like any other skill really, but I think slinky toys are so niche that it’ll be a nice thing to have just because. As for the slinky itself, I went for the plastic one because fuck having to deal with metal especially when it bends. It won’t function the same way after that happens, and plastic seems to be a bit easier on the hands. With that said, this specific slinky I bought is a GIANT one so I think I need to grab a regular sized one because this shit unironically hurts my hands really bad when I practice with it. So far, I’m just working on the energy beam and from there I’ll see what else I can do with it.
