I was 16 years old, and this man all most killed me when he beat that pigeon to death....

So sad that he's gone. Definitely my favorite comedian going back to the 90s.

Amazing magician. I had no idea he was ill. Best wishes!

This breaks my heart. Love you, Johnathan. Thank you for the many laughs.

I love this guy! I grew up watching his specials.

I had the privilege of seeing this crazy man years ago in Vegas. He started out with some weird camera tricks that got you started laughing and you never stopped as the show continued. This man is pure Gold.

RIP to this amazing man. The hint was in his name. The Amazing Jonathan. He was beyond amazing. He was a breath of fresh share in the 80's/90's.

RIP Johnathan, loved and laughed to your comedic wit since the early 90's. You will be missed 👍❤

I hope you know before you go that your fans love you and I’ve never laughed so fucking hard in my life. Thank you for giving us all joy and laughter Jonathan.

Its good to see him alive. I hope he stays and makes a new special for gods sake

I saw The Amazing Johnathan in the audience on Hey Hey It's Saturday many years ago. I have found him again on KZfaq, I sit there with the headphones on Laughing my guts out. it's unfortunate what is happening to you but your act will live on.

You will be remembered, AJ. Sad to see such an energetic performer losing his health.

Amazing Jonathan: You are without a doubt the best MAGICIAN that I've ever seen! You are also, without a doubt, the best COMEDIAN I've ever seen!! Sadly, I have not ever seen you in person. What I've liked the most about your acts have been your facial expressions! YOU, have been the best part of your act!!! Godspeed to you my FRIEND!

I never laughed as hard as when I watched him on TV.... a comic genius.... God bless you Jonathan and thank you

God bless you, Jonathan. What a talented and funny man!!! Thank you for being Amazing!

*This guy is Amazing.* *I watched his special when he was at the top of his game on TV and he is my favorite magician. I never laughed so hard when I first saw him. Thank you for the great memories.*

I have heart problems and am a diabetic. I too am about to exit life. But, God allowed me a good and protected life. I am a amatuer magician, your act was always my favorite! I love comedy magic shows! Yours was the best! Thank you!

He’s an awesome talented man.

I'm so saddened by this news! I've been watching his videos showing my daughter and she loves him! I hope I can get to a show of his soon. Thanks for all the laughs and awesome comedy! I look forward to seeing new shows on KZfaq :)

As a kid growing up in the 80's I remember his act as a true standout. Many fond memories.

Go out blazing Jonathan.....we need more amazing Jonathan’s !!!!

Since I saw his specials on tv years ago, I can honestly say he is the funniest man I have ever seen. I wish I could see him live. My hope is that he lives many more years and does what makes him and his fans happy....performing.

Glad to hear you're still around!!!!! Amazing!

Great to see this. I'm a big fan of Jonathan's and am so glad that he's still working (even if in a limited capacity) and sharing his talents and humor. One of my heroes!

Love that man!!! I wish he could shoot one more special in his current condition, old material and all. Wish I could see him live!!!

Dang! I didn't even know he was sick!! Hoping the best, Johnathan! One of my all-time favorite comedians, and one of my all-time favorite magicians.... Most guys rarely make two lists, but this guy did!

Amazing Jonathan you're definitely in my top 5 favorite magicians of all time. Wish I could see you live. You bring a great sense of humor, unique style, and showmanship, and show that you don't need big illusions or anything fancy, if your a great showman, you sir are an amazing showman. You also helped me to perform close up for friends, coworkers, and strangers, as you do a prolonged magician in trouble act like linking rings to no magnet rope, and torn and restored bill. If you can make them laugh it doesn't matter how the trick ends, you've made a personal connection with them, and you have with me. Thanks Amazing Jonathan!

One of the funniest and most awesome magicians. Always Amazing. RIP.

Saw Johnathon in Columbus this spring and actually got called up on stage, what an honor to be so close to a living legend. Today's magicians should be calling and thanking Johnathon each day for leading the way. It was a memory that I will treasure forever. Thanks Johnathon Catch his show whenever you can

Always enjoyed your comedy. Best wishes for continued good health.

I just saw TAJ at Mark Ridley’s last month as a treat for Father’s Day. This was my absolute favorite show ever! I graduated Fraser a couple decades after Jonathan. Jonathan, you will always have a place in my heart. I have adopted your line- cracks up my GF everytime... “maybe it’s not a (whatever), maybe it’s not a (whatever) at all”..... “you can tell the chicks are sick, they’re all fuzzy and yellow”.... Love ya’, brother! Go Ramblers!

My dad loved him a loooot. My dad didn't speak a word of English, but he got it. He understood what he did. He got his tricks, he loved his set ups. He never asked me to translate even though he alwaaaays asked me when anyone else was on or any performance in English. He really understood entertainment.

Awesome comedian!!! Love your shows!!! Take care of yourself, Johnathan!

Amazing Jonathan: Say "wing" three times. Crowd participant: WING! WING! WING! Amazing Jonathan (holds up folded dollar bill to his ear): Hello? Gets me every time!

This guy truest is amazing. I was so sad to hear about his retirement and even more sad to hear about his health. Wish him the best

He came to Australia and it was so new to see his comedy very funny witty skillful of cousins talented in the high tens..I hope you get better mate..I can see your not your old self God bless you..from Australia

So happy to hear he still performs. We didn't call him amazing for nothing. Would love to see him live.

Amazing ? Yes John you have always been Thank You and prayers to you

And here we are July 2019 and he’s still here, keep going Jonathan

Always wanted to see him, never will :(

For whatever reason, amazing Jonathan crossed my mind today. I was thinking back to the WTF interview he did years ago about not having long to live, and wanted to see what was going on with him. That's so great that he is still alive and doing well!

Me and my mom loved this guy. R.I.P Jonathan

Every time I watched him I never stopped laughing . I’ll always remember him

Very sad.. He was so full of energy and humor. And gave so much joy and laughter to so many.

The Amazing Jonathan is Pure Gold...... My Favorite..... just sayin.

I love this guy so so much!

"You got something hanging, there sir it's been bugging me all night...

His timing and delivery were on point. He'd rip the laughter out of you like it was attached to a mack truck and he had a tow hook on it. Nowhere to hide from it.

Definitely one of my top 3, different from anyone I had seen before.

Love the amazing Johnathan!!!

Thank you bud for years of entertainment I appreciate all your years of sacrifice to entertain the people

The funniest act I ever saw ......twice. Love ya, big guy! You. Are. The. Amazing. Johnathan!

I’m a new fan love your act wish I would’ve seen this earlier in life

I caught one of his shows in Vegas back in 2001. #keepontruckin Amazing Jonathan!

One of my favorites. So funny to me.

Thank you for the laughs my brother and I never got along but we love to watch you thank you for all the laughs and no one has a exporation date be strong friend love you😉

Wow no shit my fav of all time funny classic hope he dose a come back one day

Hey Johnathon, wishing you the best man! I was diagnosed with an atrial septal defect after suffering a stroke this past January, otherwise known as a hole in my heart. Only I had 5. The largest the size of a nickel. A blood clot passed thru and went to my brain. I was lucky to have only permanently lost some sensation on my left side. The stroke saved my life, had I not been admitted with that stroke, the Dr's said I wouldn't have lasted much longer. Anyway all is good now, they put in a patch. You make people like me smile and laugh and forget it all for a while. God has blessed you and that's why you are still with us. Stay strong and take good care of yourself!!! We love ya buddy!

Great interview. Still can’t believe he’s gone. He truly was one of the most clever funniest performers 😞

R.I.P TO THE GREATEST !!!!😢😢😢😢

Dude! Dude! Dude! Your as funny as anybody and better than most. I had to make sure I wasn't drinking anything when I watched you on tv because I would end up spitting it out laughing. If you go man, don't know. My time is closer now too. So if I don't get to see you live again I'll see you on the other side. Thanks for the good times. The world needed them. Me too. I hope you see this. Peace.

He's now passed. He was a great entertainer. RIP

He is very famous in Australia

Holy shit the documentary is going to be amazing!!! Those guys are great doc-makers!

This breaks my heart he's always brings up my spirits when i see his shows. Stay strong sir and may the Lord Jesus Christ bless and heal you AMEN

That 10 minutes went by quick just showed a friend a DVD of him I didn’t know he was sick

Wow, I've always liked Amazing Jonathon. I didn't know that he lived near me.

I hope your still around mate,greetings from Australia, you are so funny and good at what you do

I AM SEEING HIM THE 29TH THIS MONTH - CAN'T WAIT

So he still lives here in Michigan? Heck yuuuuusssss. Stalking time

As I have Various disorders, I wrote this comment before finishing the video: But I add in some health tips that most people do not know and yet are 100% accurate. The part in regards to treating the capillary system is relevant: I was born with Autism (Asperger's, Attention Deficit Disorder and Concentration Deficit Disorder) I developed Diabetes type 1 at the age of 22. I don't know if everyone can experience what I experience as literally in the genetic case of Autism, the part of my brain that deals with Sound is much smaller and the part of my brain that deals with visuals is much larger and when we use the inner eye - much of the information comes in instantaneous insights where you suddenly know something - also there is much imagery in the form of visual data that represents the insight and as the part of my brain that deals with sound was reallocated to deal with visuals I have a part of my brain to deal with visuals that is up to 10 times larger than the average person. Anyway, everything I've written here I genuinely believe is true - just wanting to help as the amazing Jonathan's shows were something I really enjoyed on the weekends when I was still a very young child. Don't know what condition he has but if it is cancer, Dude! I know 3 people that have had terminal cancer. Two did chemo and light therapy and spent 100k on treatment, only to die miserably. The other guy grew his own cannabis and made his own oil and 8 weeks later was free of cancer. He then boasted about it on Facebook and got raided and spent 10 months in prison while waiting for the judge to sentence him and finally at 10 months the judge dropped all the charges - I'm assuming so the case didn't get any bigger because he had all the medical documents, along with the doctors that had the documents that showed he went from terminal cancer to cancer free with zero chemo. Chemo is guaranteed to give you cancer 3 years after you use it anyway so it is just a tar-pit for money. My friend made his own oil in a place where it wasn't legal and so he had to serve time but if the Amazing Jonathan lives in the US then there are places where it is legal. A good source for info is the story of Dennis Hill, a biochemist, whom also did the same thing and was cancer free after 8 weeks of treatment. Cancer is literally easier to fix than the flu - at least the flu mutates where as all cancer cells have the same trait - they are all unregulated cells and as soon as they are regulated they cease to exist. Cannabis will regulate a cancer cell 100% of the time so long as the cell comes into contact with the phytocannabinoids. To do that you just have to mix the oil with something like Coconut oil (absorbs 4x more Cannabinoids than butter - butter and low quality cannabis is what Dennis Hill used). The coconut fat is absorbed into fatty tissue in the body and thereby you get a total saturation of the body with this healthy fat that contains the phytocannabinoids. When I was a kid I often watched The Amazing Jonathan's shows on Television and so if it is terminal cancer - this is my gift of knowledge back to The Amazing Jonathan. Cancer is easy to fix, the monopoly man just doesn't want you to know that because that is what he uses to perpetuate his existence as the monopoly man. Ok, found his website - he has a heart condition. Don't know what type but my advice is therefore related to the circulatory system. Vitamin C. Most people take Ascorbic acid however this is just the hull/shell/outer membrane of Vitamin C. The part that the body uses to repair the walls of the capillary system is the center of the Vitamin C. To get this, you cannot take the Ascorbic acid supplements. You must get it from sources such as citrus fruit. If you only took Vitamin C supplements for vitamin C, over time you will actually develop symptoms of Vitamin C deficiency. The best time to take Vitamin C is when you have a low sugar level - thereby: After exercise where you break a sweat, as a snack between meals or immediately after waking up. This is because if you have sugar or carbs being converted into glucose, in your body, if there is a lot of it, it will, via interaction, obstruct Vitamin C from repairing the walls. I do not know what heart condition you have but I am a walking encyclopedia with an IQ of 155. Vitamin C in the form of daily citrus fruit (spread throughout the day as Vitamin C has a half life of 30 minutes) - this will increase the rate of recovery. Cannabis is still great if you can get it and if you have a terminal condition you are legally allowed to get it, even in my country - just make sure if you use it for insights that you type down what you learn as you will be working with a short-term-memory of about 20 seconds but if you write it down as it comes to you then you do not have to worry about forgetting stuff as you can re-read your notes and find out where you were. I also had a terminal condition and was in a similar situation to my friend where I had to serve some time but thanks to using that plant I was able to avoid death as I gained access to a plane of knowledge where selfless people connect to a greater awareness and in that state of mind some figments of awareness gave me a vision in which I had a heart attack - the vision ended and I realized that it was not real (it sure as heck felt real) but it was an interactive dream which served as a warning of an impending death due to heart attack (I have diabetes type 1 and 75% of diabetics die from heart disease) - so I changed my lifestyle and began exercising at the gym, changed my diet and such and sure enough, that date came and I had a severe situation where I was briefly in hospital but luckily I had improved my health which prevented me from dying as my cardio was much better. You can use the plant for many things but with practice it can be a life-changer in regards to guidance, unlocking potential, improving health and such. Selfish people cannot access the plane of knowledge as it requires one to accept the idea that we are all connected to the same awareness and a selfish person cannot do that as that would mean admitting that the people they dehumanize and abuse are equal to themself. As a result, they lock themself out from accessing that state of mind. Reminds me of that analogy about the camel and the eye of a needle. Someone with lots of cargo/baggage strapped to their camel cannot pass through the eye (the doorway) of the needle which was a gateway which looked like a pillar in a wall but it had a gateway passing through the pillar. It was narrow enough for camels to pass through but too much baggage and the camel would be unable to pass through. The point of that analogy meaning that if we load ourselves up with ideas that our existence is determined by what we own and what world titles we believe define us - then when it comes to us passing through to the greater awareness - those misguided illusions created by our ego prevent us from leaving this place as we would believe that we will lose what defines us - in reality we are all the greater awareness - we are all the creator playing a character and that character will exist forever. We can briefly return to the mindset of the greater awareness but we cannot remain there because that would mean our character is lost and our character cannot be lost because it has been created as an eternal memory in the greater awareness. Once you create something - it cannot be un-created or erased from existence and thereby our choices which we make will exist as an eternal memory which we must live with. God exists in the sense that we are all god but only those with love can wield that power because love in its most primal form is connectivity. Selfishness is the opposite of love / selflessness. Selfish people are disconnected and do not see the connection between themself and everyone/everything and thereby they see everyone else as competition and in that state of mind they are unable to love others because their belief that if they love someone else - they can lose that love and thereby lose something they love and thereby become filled with fear at the thought that they will lose someone they love and so they distance themself from others so as to avoid love because they see love as weakness / something that can be lost. This is the trap of fear and it disappears when one understands that you cannot lose anything because you are everything - but it requires one to experience the greater awareness for that to make sense and that requires one to sincerely explore their own mind and people whom have regrets will generally not want to explore their mind. This is where humility allows one to forgive yourself and become a malleable mindset where there is hope in change. Hope replaces doubt and changes the trajectory of one's mindset into a trajectory towards love and creation which is the opposite of someone whom is filled with doubt and thereby falls to the trajectory of fear, pain, destruction and loss where they fear to lose all and so they overcome that fear by having nothing and nobody because to do so would mean loss and they fear loss. This comment is friggin huge - I'll save it in my records as it won't be long before the internet is changed and such comments are lost. If amazing Jonathan wants to ask me anything just send me a message and I will answer. We have the same medical condition and I know how you can improve health and potentially cure Diabetes type 1 as it has been done with mammals numerous times but big pharma doesn't like that info to circulate (big pharma is the child company of big oil). I took that research and pieced it together with other research and my talent is finding patterns. Where I live it is illegal to use Cannabis but I believe THCV holds the key to regulating bone marrow and thereby curing Diabetes type 1. African strains are high in THCV. They cured it in mice by injecting THC into livers.

This is incredible. Thanks for sharing this. How is he doing now? How was the performance?

Funniest magic act I have ever seen was from Amazing Johnathan. I'm so glad he's feeling better. I hope he comes to my town so I can see a live performance.

This guy was hilarious!! Someday, he’ll make god laugh. Take care buddy.

He truly is a amazing magician damn shame he can't truly do what he loves

Before moving to Hollywood to pursue an acting career I saw this talented comedy/magician on TV. Then when I worked for Win Ben Stein's Money I met him again backstage recognizing him immediately. We exchanged a few words as I recall. Sorry he passed before reaching even 64. I hope he knew the Lord Jesus Christ.
