WATCH: This Slinky Master's kung fu is better than your kung fu

The Slinky, a humble spring toy popular among generations of kids, is back in the limelight thanks to one young man's masterful manipulations.

 

The "Slinky Master" video posted last December on YouTube earned over 1 million views in less than a month since it was uploaded on December 11.

 

In the one-minute video, the "Slinky Master" does several tricks with the multicolored spring toy.

 

 

"(T)his dude is manipulating it like a sorcerer, turning it into a trippy vapor-worm of beauty. Watch as he spirals, flips, and retracts the plastic coil in mid-air," said MTV.com.

 

MTV added Slinky Inc. "needs to get this guy involved in some new advertising efforts." — Joel Locsin/TJD, GMA News
