VCO Artist of the Month—August 2010

 

AMAZING JOHNATHAN

 

The Amazing Johnathan is an eccentric comic magician whose bizarre humor and unscripted antics have earned hom widespread recognition as one of the mose original and unique performers today.

John Edward Szeles (born September 9, 1958, in Detroit, Michigan), better known by the stage name The Amazing Johnathan, is an American stand-up comedian/magician.

Since 2001, he has been a year-round headliner in Las Vegas and is arguably the most successful comedy-magician in history. Self-described as the “Freddy Krueger of Comedy,” Szeles usually performs wearing his ever-present headband and his shows frequently use gore, such as pretending to suck on his own hanging eyeball, cutting his wrists, and skewering his own tongue. He is also good friends with fellow performer Criss Angel, and has helped Angel perform a variety of illusions, most notably during his three guest appearances on Mindfreak... [read more]
