I bought it for Lucy, because she said it was nice ---- This is ok. We had a great performance, for that my teacher called a tv company to record it. ---- The phrase 'for that' doesn't make sense, I'm afraid. I'd connect the two parts of the sentence with 'which is why'. Or, more informally, a dash - followed by 'that's why'.

You could just say "so". "We had a great performance, so my teacher called....." Technically 'for that' is correct it just sounds a little weird.
