I think I can talk freely here. I love it when David Blaine does a new special and when Criss Angel has a new season come around. You would not believe the number of viewers of those shows who sign up for the Roadshow. On Thursdays, the day after Criss is on A&E, my subscriber totals will increase five-fold.
Now, all this is fine and dandy, and I certainly do my part to encourage them to sign up... But...
You equally would not believe some of the questions and emails I have to field. I'm not sure what I've done to give these guys the impression that I have Criss Angels phone number and/or email address. The typical email will say something like this:
"Hi, I'm Eric. The Roadshow rocks!! Now, can I get Criss Angels phone number. I have something important to ask him."
Or, this is the honest truth, something like this... (an actual email)
"Hi, my name is ______, and I read your newsletter. I just wanted to say that I think you are the best and I need a favor. I saw Criss Angel on TV last night and he flashed a deck of cards and asked someone to see a card. I saw a card and it was the same card they saw, and Criss knew which card I picked. I need to get Criss phone number. I know you will be hesitant to give it to me, but it is really important. Criss has special powers, and I know he does. He and I think about the same things sometimes. A friend of mine is in bad trouble and I know Criss can help him. I need for Criss to tell me who a tag number belongs to before my ex boyfriend messes up. Help me get in touch with Criss please and I will tell my friends that you helped me and that you have a real good newsletter..."
How would YOU respond? I hate to say.. "hey woman, you're crazy", but you cannot encourage them either. For those of you who saw Criss 'pull' the lady apart in the park a couple of weeks ago, you will be glad to know that I received a couple of emails wanting to know "did the woman get put back together?"..
It must be a bodacious experience to watch Criss and David and actually BELIEVE that what you're seeing is REAL magic. Wouldn't that be a trip and a half ??
