These mind-bending Slinky tricks are basically hallucinogens

THIS AMAZING SLINKY WIZARD JUST MELTED MY BRAIN WITH HIS AWESOMENESS!

Still don’t know how to process this. Can’t talk. Can’t look away.

WHAT IS THIS AMAZING WIZARD DOING WITH A SLINKY!?!?!?!?!?!

He starts slinking and you’re like “oh, this is neat” and then your brain melts because he’s not even using a Slinky anymore, he’s manipulating a rainbow between his bare hands set to techno music and whipping that sucker around like it’s nothing just to try and sell Slinkys to kids.

It’s so friggin’ incomprehensibly awesome I needed to see more, and surely enough there was a TV show segment in China a few years back dedicated to the Slinky arts.

How did we not know this was a thing until now?
