An Amazing Las Vegas Weekly Cover Story

A comic magician who admits he was high on ecstasy for a performance at the 1986 Statue of Liberty Birthday Celebration is facing imminent death

Comic magician The Amazing Johnathan first went public with his terminal heart condition last July via a WTF podcast with Marc Maron. He spoke even more emotionally about his situation in October at the inaugural edition of the Las Vegas conversation series #ENTSpeaks. And most recently, he was on the cover of Ls Vegas Weekly, for a January piece that article author (and veteran magazine journalist) Julie Seabaugh has described as “unlike anything I’ve written on a guy unlike any I’ve met.”

For her feature, Seabaugh attended the final taping in December of Burn Unit, Johnathan’s two-year-old Web series.
