Does anyone on the forum do street performances? I kinda want to start to make some more money to feed my yoyo buying addiction.
I think it’s a good idea. If I was walking down the street and saw you yo-yoing, I’d definitely fork over some cash. It will make you some money, and it may inspire someone too. Go for it! If you do it though, post and let us know how it’s going. I think you’ll do well with it.
As with any street performance really, I think you need to find at least one way to make your performance unique. Just yoyo’ing is great, but people need a reason to stop and watch. For someone that might include some sort of choreographed music tie-in, maybe talking to people and having some funny bit along with the yoyo’ing, just something.
What you don’t want is to just look like a person on the street yoyo’ing. If people know it’s a performance I think they’re much more likely to pay up.
I did this a little while ago and hopefully will again soon it was fun I made $15 in about an hour. Tip: go to a popular park or mall

Check your local “busking” laws.

David, don’t you date exclude me!!! Lol… You need a permit for Bethesda. Trust me. I’ve checked. You need a vendors license. And to get that you need some other papers, and to get those papers other papers, and it’s weird because technically we are not selling a good… It’s just very annoying and tedious. I think we’re better off just performing when we are on vacation or something so we can just do it once, and leave that place. New audiences every time.
I meant dare not date
