EXCLUSIVE FROM LAS VEGAS 2001

Live from Las Vegas for the First Time in Europe-- White Tigers.


What would you interpret by reading the heading on this post, and what show would you assume this tiger came from or who owned it? What does "Live from Las Vegas for the First Time in Europe." suggest to you? Would you believe this person if they told you their animals were cared for the best?

Wade,
Now this is very confusing, since there were white tigers in Europe long before 2001. So now I will assume that the advertisement applies to this particular circus act. Since I am not an expert on white tigers in Europe, I will defer to Stefan or Thomas on this one. My guess is that the act is owned by Hawthorn but I would not know what show it is on. "Live from Las Vegas for the First Time in Europe" suggests that the act appeared in Vegas and went to Europe. While this is is not downright deceitful, it is somewhat misleading, and I still would not believe the claim that their animals were cared for the best.

Mary Ann,
This is Jimmy Klising and this is not a Hawthorn tiger, and he has never worked for Hawthorn. Why would you assume it had anything to do with Hawthorn. Who/what does Exclusive from Las Vegas and Live from Las Vegas lead you to believe. What did the first picture lead you to believe.

Wade, I didn't assume, I said I guessed, and I admitted ignorance on this one. Perhaps the whole claim is an out-and-out lie? I really don't know, and Stefan and Thomas will not be awake for a few more hours.

My guess would be "From Las Vegas" that the cat came from S & R collection. Could be false advertising?

I would guess that the whole claim is a lie.

Is it the same theory as Jody Jordan's advertising line? Direct from the Entertainment Capitol of the World. Even though no single date he does is direct from Las Vegas. So even though they don't come "directly from Las Vegas" It sounds better than "Direct from Rapid City, SD" or Charleston, WV or where ever. Even if you are implying that this show was in Las Vegas before the tour as a whole. It sounds better than, Direct From Myakka City, Fl, Mabank, TX, and Houston, MO" The fact though that Jordan's home office is indeed in Las Vegas allows the whole thing a kernal of truth to hang onto. Plus it sounds really good on a radio station in Minot, ND!!

This is Jimmy Klissing who works with the white tigers from Cirque Stephane Zavatta. The tigers are not from Jimmy hisself. And it were surly not the first white tigers in Europe ! The first were the hawthorn presented by John ! Later came Josip Marcan with his tigers to Americano. And many circusses in Europe have white tigers: Americano, Orfei, Zavatta,...

Thomas,
Did you mention that to your parents or others, after you saw the posters at Medrano?

Iwas visiting family in St. paul, MN a week before their Shrine date and an ad came on for the show.They showed footage of Derrick Rosaire's bear act. I knew Derrick would be on Cindy Migley's show at the time and that the bear act would be the Hall's I announced that the bear act shown would not be in St. Paul, and received nothing but unamused looks from my family. The general public doesn't know any difference, and even if they did, few care!

Dan,
Good analogy to Siegfried and Roy, Derrick Rosaire and Jimmy Hall no disrespect to them. How many of the people in your story knew who either of them were.

Wade, I meant good point on nobody knowing who Jimmy Hall or Derrick Rosaire were. And you were right, nobody did.

Dan,
I didn't understand "none." This isn't an isolated case or a "grind" at somebody. It is just one of the most documented, and most blatant. It is why I tried it with different animals, and you saw who it changed what they were seeing. I used a familiar figure to the blog like Martin Lacey, and Tongo and nobody would by it. What I was suggesting to you was what if they advertised, See the greatest illusionist from Las Vegas and their white tigers, and they came and it was you and my self with yes, white tigers and yes we did a new car lot opening in Vegas last year, Are they going to be happy and how many will never come back regardless of what the next circus says?
