AS SOON AS you get it tangled, go here:    • How to Untangle a Slinky   After MUCH hesitation, and seeing so many people failing at doing the Energy Beam, I've decided to release this full lesson from the video course for free here on YouTube. Enjoy! Let me know any questions you have in the comments. CAUTION: While you technically can do the Basic Energy Beam with any slinky, plastic or metal, big or small, please note that doing this with a traditional metal Slinky® brand slinky will cause it to instantly become permanently bent near where you grip it. Furthermore, if you want to do anything more advanced than this, I would recommend getting a HyperSpring: https://www.hyperspringtoys.com/produ...
