This is awesome! I remember watching this with my grandma when I was a kid and us both cracking up. I'm 38 now and cracking up. R.I.P Grandma. Love you
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
Haven't started watching yet. Had to say, Jonathan's family and friends must blow their minds how the internet of nobodys are keeping his memory alive and well! Thnx for sharing! Now i watch the amazing Jonathan for the hundredth time...rip
I’m watching this for the first time ever, it is god knows how many years since it was aired, and I KNOW he will bend the spoon by hand, and still he manages to trick me - of course, I looked away when the guy opened the door and missed the move, had to rewind to catch it. when yout trick still works on youtube and you made it before internet even existed, then you know you’re a master of the trade :) great perfomance. RIP
RIP magical funny man. I saw him first, I think on HBO in the 90s. Always a treat. Listening to his interview on WTF with Marc Maron now. His story about his last "serious" magic show is fantastic. Or should I say amazing. Also, he thought he was going to die in 2014-2015, but did not pass away until 2022. I hope his suffering was minimal.
Jonathan was just straight up funny. The first time I saw his act, He was introed as the Punk Rock Magician. For his first trick, he said he was going to make a rabbit appear then disappear from a top hat. He puts a top hat on a table, says "Pull!". Rabbit pops out, Jonathon pulls out a gun and shoots the rabbit. Thanks for all the laughs, you will be missed.
I remember back when magic specials would air on prime time TV. They’d always advertise them for a good week before and then everyone would be talking about it.
'Excuse me sir...is this your watch?.... (*audience laughter - Johnathan returns watch) 'Uh...excuse me, excuse me'....is this your Wallet too sir?.....( * hands Wallet back but 'drops it on ground' in front of guy; guy reaches down to pick up).... Jonathan Reaches down guys rear-jacket collar - 'And sir...is this your Spine!!!!!....yanking fake bones of spinal cord out from Jacket'.... Bhwhahaha! God speed Jonathan. One of a Kind
It's deflated, when he opens the case, a trigger injects A and B components into the ball that instantly hardens. top secret shit. I've never seen any other magician use such a technology with out ever getting figured out, JOHNATHAN IS THE GREATEST! I found out because I gave him a ride in my learjet to a gig. When he passed out I went though his pockets and luggage, and opened the case. I thought it was a bomb like in "DIE HARD 3", so he explained, and revieled the trick..THE END.
RIP Johnathan. You always put a smile on my face
Me too
This is awesome! I remember watching this with my grandma when I was a kid and us both cracking up. I'm 38 now and cracking up. R.I.P Grandma. Love you
That's an awesome memory
Missing my grandma too
Jonathon's one of the only comedians that can do the same jokes over and over and still make me laugh...
that's cuz you're stupid!
got you 😜!
It sounds like you have a thing for failed magicians. Did you have a magic set growing up?
Yeah failed magician that all magicians hold in high regard. Go watch his documentary and watch Copperfield dawn over him.
Yeah, he’s so memorable and great you can’t even spell his name correctly.
I remember when I was a kid it was always a great day when you’re watching Comedy Central and see The Amazing Jonathan was coming on soon.

Greg Reichold he has a fatal disease so I highly doubt you saw him
did he steal your money?
@@D8O2M he's been drinking stem cells and doing his act again at least a year.
He altered his diet and is being treated with medication and is back at it!
Wait until you see Jonathan! He’s great.
Haven't started watching yet. Had to say, Jonathan's family and friends must blow their minds how the internet of nobodys are keeping his memory alive and well! Thnx for sharing! Now i watch the amazing Jonathan for the hundredth time...rip
When he asked, “Am I your brother?” I lost it
He didn't ask. You need Prefessional help.
@@BigBeardedBetsey 5:11 watch again
Am I your brother?...
Yes.
I'm crying🤣🤣🤣🤣
The way she hugged him was beautiful!!!... Nothing like family!

His "sister" was his one-time wife and on-stage assistant Tanya.
Dang!!! I hate it when someone spoils the trick!!!
Different woman; but they do look similar.
I believe that this might actually be his real sister!
doesn’t he call her Maggie after he reveals he is the brother?? 5:13
I miss his hilarious comedy magic! RIP good Sir!
Spoon bending bit was impressive
*I* can do that, but he makes it funny.
The Amazing Jonathan is very much underrated. He’s great.
His birth name is Johnathan Szeles & he's dying of cancer - he has never been underrated - you are living in a cave with bats
All magicians hold him to very high regards!! Far from underrated!! He's actually been doing stem cells and diet changes, been back on the road again.
@@RingJando - Not cancer, heart disease. Watch the documentary about him here on TH-cam.
@@randywissler9923 - No stem cells, but the rest is right.
3:52 the psychic watch bit is gold lol
..it really is..im 50 and still remember watching that bit on the Arensio Hall show…so great..
Just comedic genius. Some infantile stuff but he makes you love it. 😺😺😺😺
"No, no! Please, sit!"
He really is AMAZING!! Love it.
RIP legend.

Why do I like this more than magic 😂
Uhhh...You're NOT a nerd perhaps?
Because he's actually being honest hah
Good magician. Good talent. Good show back in the day
He reminded me of a young Victor Buono (King Tut in the Batman from the 60s). RIP to both of them.

If cocaine took human form, it would be this guy.

I like the part where he smoked meth.

It's pretty well known that he uses plants in his shows but it's still funny.
Perfectly fine when it's in the name of humor and not magic. He's absolutely hilarious.
R.I.P. to the genius
Outstanding!!!
LEGEND #RIP
He's a VERY FUNNY GUY GREAT
His sister is going through the motion because she knows that's the only way she'll get through it.
I have been bamboozled
Brilliant
0:28 Hole cut into other side of briefcase, Jonathon
Rip jon
Wow I haven't seen this since I was a kid
There was a hole cut in the briefcase. The other half of the bowling ball sticking through. Figured out.
Comedy for the trailer park crew 😅
It's like Kiefer Sutherland, Carrot Top and Tim Dillon had a baby
That was good
OMG he's a genius !! How did he find the brother !!
Bad news. He just passed away 😔
How about that lossless audio from vhs
We will miss TAJ.
people think this is from VHS, but actually this was 90s natural resolution.
knew a kid in school that did this kind of act. he also started a band that sounded like blink 182. he thought he was the greatest thing in the world
Dude likes to do shit, fuck it.
Toby Vance and you've done?
STOP TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF!
The heroin joke owned me 😂
AMAZING!
Damn.....pretty good
Ah vhs I love the amazing Jonathan
Good times
He killed me at Bee Bee’s in the eyes my childhood in a nut shell everything that was cool had Bee Bee’s in it
Yeh I’m old shit happens
B.B.
Bee Bee's is what happens when the dog with the mouth with the barking... You know how it goes.
@Nathan Perrin
Yeah same, must be a regional thing
Very nice..
Genius
You can literally see him pulling the ball out of his shirt lol
Nope, watch closer....

Hi Johnathan meet the amazing holo man... Turn a snow globe into a lava lamp...
RossHildick3D backyard, black marshmallow’s on his olive branch
Dress like an evil villain dressed like a soccer dad
😂 I wonder if John Edward learned the medium trick from this guy.
they have the same name!
I remember this dude
How does he do that ?
R. I. P. The Amazing Jonathan
RIP, you were funny.
I hope that was his cereal spoon and not his heroin spoon.
i dont like being an only child
How did he do the bowling ball?
he had it attached to the backside of the briefcase. then when he opens up the briefcase he pushes it through the bottom part.
The ball is sliced in half, when he grabs it, slide together, twist to lock the halves..... THERE WAS A FUCKING HOLE IN BACK OF THE BRIEFCASE!
It's deflated, when he opens the case, a trigger injects A and B components into the ball that instantly hardens. top secret shit. I've never seen any other magician use such a technology with out ever getting figured out, JOHNATHAN IS THE GREATEST! I found out because I gave him a ride in my learjet to a gig. When he passed out I went though his pockets and luggage, and opened the case. I thought it was a bomb like in "DIE HARD 3", so he explained, and revieled the trick..THE END.
ask his doctor!
@Nicholas Johnson
Escamotage?
RIP
What did he say at the end to his sister, "I am gonna see her..??".
he says he wants to go cause he hasnt seen her in so long, basically making his out ;)
