Popsicles or Water Hand Grenade Balloon Twisting

  • 0:08 - 0:10
    Hello.
  • 0:10 - 0:13
    Balloon twisting art is great hobby.
  • 0:13 - 0:15
    Great skills to have.
  • 0:15 - 0:16
    And it's not a secret
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    that many balloon twisters make money
  • 0:18 - 0:22
    by doing balloons.
  • 0:22 - 0:23
    And when we talk about business,
  • 0:23 - 0:25
    any kind of business,
  • 0:25 - 0:27
    the main thing about it is
  • 0:27 - 0:29
    to get customers.
  • 0:29 - 0:32
    So how do balloon twisters get customers?
  • 0:32 - 0:34
    Well, there are different ways.
  • 0:34 - 0:37
    Today I want to share with you
  • 0:37 - 0:40
    a certain way to get customers who,
  • 0:40 - 0:42
    specifically customers who
  • 0:42 - 0:47
    don't really want balloons to begin with.
  • 0:47 - 0:48
    It is not a secret,
  • 0:48 - 0:52
    but people do like free stuff.
  • 0:52 - 0:58
    So, balloon twister can actually give them
  • 0:58 - 0:59
    what they want.
  • 0:59 - 1:01
    Free stuff.
  • 1:01 - 1:05
    Free stuff made out of balloons of cause.
  • 1:05 - 1:07
    Well, that's what I prefer to do.
  • 1:07 - 1:09
    So, let's see how it works.
  • 1:09 - 1:12
    So, next time when you work on street,
  • 1:12 - 1:15
    and got bored-there is no currently any customers
  • 1:15 - 1:16
    you serving.
  • 1:16 - 1:19
    You may see a family with kids
  • 1:19 - 1:21
    going your way.
  • 1:21 - 1:25
    But you recognized a look on face of adults.
  • 1:25 - 1:27
    They have no intention to buy any balloons.
  • 1:27 - 1:30
    That's exactly time when you may try
  • 1:30 - 1:33
    to get them somehow with free stuff.
  • 1:33 - 1:35
    And you start it very simple.
  • 1:35 - 1:39
    "Free popsicles to any first customer!"
  • 1:39 - 1:41
    "Free popsicle to first customer. Free popsicles.
  • 1:41 - 1:45
    Yes we have free popsicles of any flavor you like!"
  • 1:45 - 1:47
    What is your favourite flavor?
  • 1:47 - 1:48
    Would you like...
  • 1:48 - 1:52
    I have cranberry, blueberry, banana, orange
  • 1:52 - 1:54
    Banana? You like banana?
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    Is banana this color?
  • 1:56 - 1:57
    Oh...good, good.
  • 1:57 - 2:01
    And what kind of balloon animals do you like?
  • 2:01 - 2:03
    Do you like cats, dogs,
  • 2:03 - 2:06
    or may be some super hero you like?
  • 2:06 - 2:08
    Yeh, you like Spiderman.
  • 2:08 - 2:11
    I know. Spiderman is good!
  • 2:11 - 2:13
    Did you watch the movie.
  • 2:13 - 2:15
    Spiderman movies.
  • 2:15 - 2:17
    And the 1st part and the 2nd?
  • 2:17 - 2:20
    I like the second movie.
  • 2:20 - 2:23
    It's really good. Yeah.
  • 2:23 - 2:25
    OK.
  • 2:25 - 2:28
    Here is you popsicle.
  • 2:28 - 2:30
    Banana flavour popsicle.
  • 2:30 - 2:32
    And it goes to the adult.
  • 2:32 - 2:33
    Yeah, here you are.
  • 2:33 - 2:35
    And for you little one...
  • 2:35 - 2:37
    you can have something different
  • 2:37 - 2:39
    if you mom lets you.
  • 2:39 - 2:42
    And now the most important part.
  • 2:42 - 2:44
    Probably most important part.
  • 2:44 - 2:48
    The free popsicle you give to adult.
  • 2:48 - 2:49
    Not to the child!
  • 2:49 - 2:51
    To the adult.
  • 2:51 - 2:53
    Why it's important?
  • 2:53 - 2:57
    Be course it's encourage the adult to buy
  • 2:57 - 3:01
    balloon for the child.
  • 3:01 - 3:05
    As you may remember when I was making
  • 3:05 - 3:09
    free popsicle, I was talking to the child.
  • 3:09 - 3:13
    Trying to find out what kind of cartoon characters,
  • 3:13 - 3:15
    balloon animals they like.
  • 3:15 - 3:17
    This way I know what they want.
  • 3:17 - 3:22
    And the parents as well got the idea
  • 3:22 - 3:24
    what the have to buy
  • 3:24 - 3:28
    to get away from you quickly.
  • 3:28 - 3:29
    So, again.
  • 3:29 - 3:35
    You handle the free popsicle to adult.
  • 3:35 - 3:38
    You give them along with free popsicle
  • 3:38 - 3:41
    you business card or flier,
  • 3:41 - 3:45
    whatever you have with your contact information.
  • 3:45 - 3:47
    This way you get chance they probably
  • 3:47 - 3:50
    that they may call you for birthday party
  • 3:50 - 3:54
    or whatever other great events.
  • 3:54 - 3:56
    You get a chance to sell something
  • 3:56 - 3:59
    for their children as well.
  • 3:59 - 4:03
    And another thing you got is, the customers
  • 4:03 - 4:06
    standing in front of you.
  • 4:06 - 4:07
    It is always good.
  • 4:07 - 4:11
    It attracts other people to your stand.
  • 4:11 - 4:13
    Best advertisment.
  • 4:13 - 4:15
    And you keep yourself busy.
  • 4:15 - 4:19
    So, as you may see there are many good points
  • 4:19 - 4:23
    to give one or two minutes of your time
  • 4:23 - 4:26
    to give free stuff.
  • 4:26 - 4:31
    A...in past we use tulip twist to make
  • 4:31 - 4:32
    different things.
  • 4:32 - 4:35
    Today I use it again.
  • 4:35 - 4:38
    Tulip twist...as you may see
  • 4:38 - 4:43
    to make this popsicle.
  • 4:43 - 4:46
    You can check website
  • 4:46 - 4:47
    fewdoit.com
  • 4:47 - 4:50
    to find links how to make
  • 4:50 - 4:52
    different things out of balloons
  • 4:52 - 4:55
    using tulip twist.
  • 4:55 - 4:58
    We've been doing pig snouts,
  • 4:58 - 5:00
    and candles,
  • 5:00 - 5:03
    some little fruits
  • 5:03 - 5:07
    like apples, cherries and so on.
  • 5:07 - 5:08
    Pacifiers.
  • 5:08 - 5:12
    Just look at website fewdoit.com
  • 5:12 - 5:14
    you will see the links.
  • 5:14 - 5:18
    In all previously published instructions
  • 5:18 - 5:23
    I made balloon sculpture with video camera
  • 5:23 - 5:28
    taking picture from behind above my shoulder.
  • 5:28 - 5:32
    Today I am working in front of camera.
  • 5:32 - 5:34
    It's a bit different view.
  • 5:34 - 5:36
    I think it is good chance for you
  • 5:36 - 5:39
    to take a look how a...same thing,
  • 5:39 - 5:41
    tulip twist is done.
  • 5:41 - 5:43
    So, inflate balloon leaving a long tail
  • 5:43 - 5:48
    and just...we need just about 5 inch long bubble.
  • 5:48 - 5:49
    One bubble.
  • 5:49 - 5:54
    There are different ways to make tulip twist.
  • 5:54 - 6:00
    We can use the...the nozzle of the balloon.
  • 6:00 - 6:03
    Or we can make a small
  • 6:03 - 6:09
    about thumb nail size bubble.
  • 6:09 - 6:11
    Like this.
  • 6:11 - 6:14
    I found it is easier to work with bubble
  • 6:14 - 6:16
    than just with the nozzle.
  • 6:16 - 6:22
    So, twist thumb size nail, thumb size nail bubble.
  • 6:22 - 6:27
    Force it inside of the balloon.
  • 6:27 - 6:28
    Little.
  • 6:28 - 6:32
    Grab it with your fingers like that.
  • 6:32 - 6:35
    Alright.
  • 6:35 - 6:37
    Again.
  • 6:37 - 6:42
    We have to push the bubble inside of the balloon
  • 6:42 - 6:44
    up to this end.
  • 6:44 - 6:54
    [balloon squeaking]
  • 6:54 - 6:59
    And then pull out your finger
  • 6:59 - 7:00
    out of the balloon.
  • 7:00 - 7:01
    Beautiful.
  • 7:01 - 7:03
    [balloon squeaking]
  • 7:03 - 7:06
    That's it.
  • 7:06 - 7:13
    Now we can lock the bubble.
  • 7:13 - 7:16
    And push it back inside of the balloon.
  • 7:16 - 7:30
    [balloon squeaking]
  • 7:30 - 7:32
    That's it.
  • 7:32 - 7:34
    That is how it's done.
  • 7:34 - 7:39
    Different flavor.
  • 7:39 - 7:44
    Ok.
  • 7:44 - 7:49
    There is another thing about this sculpture.
  • 7:49 - 7:51
    Popsicles sounds good.
  • 7:51 - 7:56
    But at Summer we can always fill up same balloon
  • 7:56 - 7:58
    with water, not with air...
  • 7:58 - 8:01
    with water.
  • 8:01 - 8:03
    And then make the popsicles.
  • 8:03 - 8:05
    Well, it won't be the popsicle.
  • 8:05 - 8:10
    It will be the water filled hand grenade.
  • 8:10 - 8:13
    If you prefer water fights.
  • 8:13 - 8:14
    OK.
  • 8:14 - 8:16
    It should be enough for today.
  • 8:16 - 8:19
    Have fun and happy twisting :)
