Slinky Josh" Jacobs is a professional slinky manipulator who has been performing and teaching since 2016. It all began one day when he stumbled upon a viral video, of a man whose name he would later learn to be WuQiang Wu. In the video, the man was performing insane tricks with a slinky that seemed to defy the laws of physics. Mesmerized by the video Josh went online and purchased his own slinky and the rest is history.
