Your product are programmable LED pois?

That does seem like a very good fit for a good video that can spread on TikTok etc on its own if some performers upload videos.

NO that's a side project - my product is my juggling/magic shows here in Durban (also good for video though). I made the poi for myself and open sourced it, now people are selling them in Brazil, and Australia. Sometimes I get a bit of cash from it but not a lot.

  • I see. Not sure if TikTok is the best plattform then as you want a very local audience (but I never used TikTok, just watched family members do).

    I rather would try to get an entry on google maps. Meaning when people browse the area, they see your thing. I certainly like to discover new stuff like this in new areas and some things I find are clearly there because of ads, but other got there by other ways. Making a entry by hand, publishing a picture there with further info ..

    • We are on Google Maps. Many 5* ratings (apart from that one psycho neighbour who objected to me asking him to turn his base down - they left one night without paying their rent and a week later my business has 1* review. urrgh 10 years and I'm still annoyed)

      Instagram has apparently got hyper specific location targeting, so we are doing an ad on there now.

  • Maybe you just need to update your act. Eat some tide pods or something.

    • I think the Magician equivalent is David Blaine, making people pass out from shock because you smuggled a fake spider into their ear or something.

      Mostly we do kids entertainment though, so that's not really going to convice moms to hire my magic show for Bobby's birthday
