Maybe... but I'm just asking the questions people tend to speak to soon about these matters... as the saying goes putting the cart before the horse.

Cris, I am very confused. I tried to stand up for you, but I was with one of the leading anchors from Channel 3 (ABC) here in Pensacola last night. When I told him what you were doing, he just laughed and said that would never happen. He had never heard of you and said if you were doing a show for some big charity, they might give you a few seconds on the news slot. But a special with an unknown, never. How could they bump of high paying client to do that? I don't know why this is bugging me, I just don't like to be put on. I'm calling the networks in Alabama, and see what they have to say. I"M begining to agree with Farrell, in this matter. I'm not putting you down, we all have our pipe dreams, but I don't think this will ever happen, sorry Rai

Also Cris, I just checked some of your older posts. You really don't know to much about building props, do you? You asked some very basic questions. So you are planing to do a TV special using home made props, Wow!

I really don't think this will be going anywhere. I just spoke to the networks in Mobile, so I think you know what I mean. Strange that we haven't heard for Cris isn't it? I think he realizes he dug himself in a hole much to deep to return! Rai

It sounds like you are very knowledgeable about the ways of magic and television, which leads me to believe that you have a lot of experience with your own act on television. Please post some links for us to view of how it should be done. Thank you,

I certainly do NOT need to prove myself, my career speaks for itself. And if you do not know about it, what can I say?

I don't have a TON of experience on Television... I do have a little... But not tons... I do know how hard creating pitching and selling a TV show works. and know how many times you hear a no before a yes. I know that local affiliates air their network's PRIMETIME shows during PRIMETIME. Not some local magician instead of WWE or Twilight Zone... that would be completely rediculous. Infact here is a list of shows CCP Cris would be replacing on the CW & MYnetworkTV with his local and Maybe some national coverage.
Gossip Girl One Tree Hill Supernatural Smallville America's Next top Model 90210 Jherico Everybody Hates Chris The Game The Drew Carey Show The twilight Zone Street Patrol Whacked out videos Worlds funniest moments with arsecnio Hall Shaken not stirred WWE Friday night Smackdown... That's right even LOCAL Affiliates air these shows. I'm sure CCP Cris does NOT have the power to draw viewers against these shows. he Doesn't even have a website! Be honest, you must see this TV special is a blatant lie. I know enough to know that CCPcris is not telling the truth. or at least the whole truth. I'm also not saying I know how it should be done. I'm just saying that he wasn't being truthful and it seems he was using his ficticious TV special to Boast. I'm not happy he won't be on television but I think if you are going to talk the talk you should Walk the Walk. |

Congratulations on your appearances on MOI. Since I don't receive any of the stations carrying it, I have no way of checking this out, but you said it, so I will take you at your word. I wish you the best, and I admire you for your accomplishments.
I admit I know nothing about television, other than how to connect it to my stereo system and to change the channels. It is not my purpose to denigrate another magician. The only point I am trying to make is that I am constantly saddened by our lack of support for one another. Oh, one more thing, for what it's worth: http://www.cristopherthomas.com/

If CCP cris has a website and that is the link I cannot view it from China. there may be some sort of firewall that prevents me from viewing it in China... Believe it or not they do exist.
and they have the first 4 episodes of MOI on the internet at Mynetworktv.com you can check it out there. |

I will post the name and number of rep I talked to from our local CBS affilate, as I got her bussiness card right here, and have a confrence call with anyone who wants to call me a liar on this.
I have not lied about anything. I stated what I was told, and that was that they could sell me a prime time spot on CBS, and asked me about possibly broadcasting it on My Network and the CW. That was it. I never claimed that they would do it for free, or that they were sponsoring it, as we are working on sponsors from other sources. I would not be the first or even the last performer that has utilized televesin to draw attention to themselves for the purpose of drawing crowds for live shows. And if I have the means to build some props myself, why would it matter. I don't know if many of you know this, but heres a few examples. David Copperfield built severl of his own props in the early part of his carrer, just listen to the commentary on his ILLUSIONS DVD, he talks about a few. Criss Angel, built seveal, as he states in his book. Mark Willson also did build a lot of his own props, as he states in seveal writings, and writings by other authors. If I feel I can take a combination of several methods, and combine them into one prop, for a better effect, that's fine, I wouldnt be the first to do it. And as for my website, and whether or not some of you know me or not. I have been doing magic since I was 10 and follwed the diffrent entertainers over the years. There are many of you who I have never heard of, and some which don't have websites, but I am not calling you out, cause its just that, I don't know you, and I don't know if your telling the truth, and I don't really care either. My life, goals, and dreams, and carrer, don't revlovle arround any of you. And lastly. If you want to call my a liar for facts that don't line up, fine. But I stated what I was told. that's it. It is funny how one comment I made about being skeptical of putting my show in Dothan, AL on the air, due to the contreversy surrounding MYNETWORK, has turned inot such a debate.

Can I say the word **** in the Café? Cause its amazing how much of it can come out just from one persons post. Amazaing how a person simply stating what he was told, agian WHAT HE WAS TOLD, can be turned arround, and then others accuse him of being a liar. Funny how some of the ones in here keepint the HATE going, don't even have websites of their own. Funny how some that are stiring things up, don't even sem to have a magic carrer, not even the start of one, so how would you know what it takes or doesn't take, or anything else. This thread has turned into one big **** throwing match.

I am saddend, at the lack of support. Funny this is the same reason why I chose not to get inolved in magic clubs, cuase I got tired of magicians constanly slaming one another. They turned into a popularity contest and a clique, rather than a resource for magicians of every skill level and area of expertise. The Café has to I am affraid, many of you still attack me without even knowing me, or having even been here when I talked to the televsion stations the first fewt times, so none of you know what was said, so how can you accuse me of lying, you cant. My god, why am I even arguing with you all about this. All I can say is, you'll see, maybee not tommrow, but you'll see. Oh let me post this to, Oppinions are like ***s, we all have one, and most of them stink!
