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
