I love the slinky! I have one in my office and I have become a slinky master! Here are the top ten slinky moves: (note: you have to use a metal slinky. No plastic or imitations)
1. The Rainbow - basic move where each end of the slinky is held in each hand forming a semi-circle
2. The Accordian - intermediate move (could pinch fingers) expanding and contracting the slinky in one quick motion
3. The Corkscrew - intermediate move where you twist the slinky in a spiral motion (must be done carefully or slinky bendage/damage could occur)
4. The Running Man - intermediate to advanced move. Hold the center of the slinky in one hand and rock simulated legs up and down creating a running motion
5. The Headband - basic and therapeutic move where you wrap the slinky around your forehead. This feels quite nice.
6. The Stairmaster - only for the expert. This is the move you see on TV where the slinky walks down the stairs unassisted. They make it look SOOOO easy but this is for trained professionals only.
7. The Elephant - basic move, hold the slinky at your nose and release opposite end.
8. The Jump Rope - intermediate to advanced move. Hold the slinky in each hand, shoulder width apart and rotate in a circular motion. Note: Improper technique could result in facial lacerations.
9. The Spyglass - basic move. Hold the slinky at either eye and extend the opposite end. This is one of my personal favorites.
10. The Booty Shaker - intermediate move. Hold in "Rainbow" position and jiggle gently. Best performed with Bee Gee's music.
There you have it. The Top Ten ways to impress your friends with your slinky. Peace Out ----J

This blog could also be titled, "Top 10 ways to irritate the crap out of your boss when he's trying to have a serious conversation with you" or "Top 10 ways to successfully avoid eye contact."
Oh, if I only had a nickel for everytime you have said, "Loisa, put the slinky down!"

The headband is definately theraputic - I love the tactile sensation.
I agree with Anne, and think you need to do a video of you doing the booty shaker.
