Not as funny as I thought Johnathan could be. Simple magic tricks, low level comedic lines plus an annoying sidekick made the show unbearable.

Amazing! just as expected. Not terribly different than any other time you may have seen him on DVD or TV or on the internet. Still, one of the few that can step outside the box and NOT be politically correct. Plus, his humor is so twisted that no one would dare copy it. He doesn't mind insulting anyone, from his mother to the local police to the audience. Of course it's all in fun, but half the fun is when the audience doesn't know whether to laugh at the joke or be politically correct and shun him. His sidekick, Psychic Tanya is an incredible talent also. If you have never seen him, be prepared for sick and twisted humor with very little magic.

Event Highlights

  • Winner for "Best Show" and "Best Comedian" --Las Vegas Review-Journal

More Details About This Event:

The Amazing Johnathan is an eccentric comic magician whose bizarre humor and unscripted antics have earned him widespread recognition as one of the most original and unique performers today. His new DVD Wrong On Every Level is the latest example to prove this point.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal has given Amazing Johnathan much praise, by including him on the coveted "Best of Las Vegas" list in the "Best Show" category, and also awarding him "Best Comedian of the Year" for 2002 and nominating him in 2003. Most recently, Amazing Johnathan was recognized as "Best Local Villain" by the Las Vegas Weekly Reader's Choice Awards in 2004 and 2005. He is also a two-time winner of the International Magic Award for "Best Comedy Magician."

Starting his professional career as a street performer in San Francisco, Johnathan turned his boyhood hobby of magic into a full-time job. After polishing his act on Fisherman's Wharf in the late '70's, he moved onto nightclubs and colleges in the '80's.

The Amazing Johnathan has performed for audiences all over the world, including countless dignitaries and high-profile officials like President Ronald Reagan and the president of France. His fan base stretches across the globe from the U.S. to the U.K., Europe, South America and Australia, where he is a household name.

During the last 25-plus years of his career, Amazing Johnathan has appeared on numerous television shows including Comedy Central's Lounge Lizard and Premium Blend shows, F/X's The X Show, Fox's Comic Strip Live, The Arsenio Hall Show, HBO's Young Comedians Special, Late Night with David Letterman, Entertainment Tonight and The Wayne Brady Show, as well as television specials such as NBC's World's Greatest Magic II and The World's Wildest Magicians, ABC's Caesars Palace 30th Anniversary Special, Fox's Champions of Magic, Comedy Central Presents, American Airlines' CBS Eye on America, the Travel Channel's Amazing Vacation Homes, and The Greatest Magic Tricks In the Universe...Ever on England's Ch. 5 UK.

Despite making regular appearances on national television shows, his live shows are what Amazing Johnathan thrives on. He has literally destroyed audiences and stages with a style that has been described as a cross between Steve Martin and Alice Cooper. With his impulsive, raw humor and abrasive wit, he keeps audiences on the edge of their seats while exhibiting spontaneous magic and showcasing impressive special effects.

Amazing Johnathan is performing at the Sahara Hotel & casino for an indefinite engagement, appearing in the 550-seat Congo Room where legendary comedians including Johnny Carson, George Burns and Buddy Hackett have performed.

The Amazing Johnathan Show has added new material but still showcases the same impulsive, bizarre humor and abrasive wit that has earned him widespread critical acclaim. Amazing Johnathan has also dragged his wacky assistant of more than five years, Psychic Tanya, with him to the Sahara Hotel & Casino. The energetic and uproarious blonde supports his act with silly banter and spontaneous hilarity resulting in a comic partnership that adds a hysterical spark to Amazing Johnathan's already off-the-wall production.
