Sahara headliner Amazing Johnathan said doctors have informed him he faces a heart transplant if the latest treatments fail.
The comic magician said he has been taking blood thinners and will have a defibrillator placed in his heart next week. "The heart is damaged and not going to get any better," he told Vegas Confidential. He said a virus has been destroying his heart since childhood. "And they said I'll probably need a transplant." He was shocked, he said, to learn his doctors are convinced he's already had a heart attack. "If I lose the weight and keep my blood thin, I should be all right," he said. "They are seeing what they can do without doing the transplant." He indicated he had no plans to end his show, although he had suggested recently he was considering retirement. I for one hope that he pulls through as he has been a very big influence on my show. And very generous with his time whenever I have been in town.

Johnathan,
You are in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. His magic and comedy has been a big influence in my life as well. Everytime I see him perform, I just forget about being a magician. His comedy is top notch, and combined with his magic, the whole show is just incredible. Best wishes, Steve |

Personally, I'd hate to have been him having to go on stage and perform after getting such devastating news. If his show went well, it would only be because he is a consummate professional.
All the best, Jonathan.
Magic! The quicker picker-upper!

Wow, I just caught this post and I must say, it is a huge surprise to me. Johnatan, you'll be in my prayers. Best of luck.
I hope someone can, as Christopher said, keep us updated. He's an amazing guy with a wonderful show and he's been a huge influence to me and friends of mine. I'm sure he might like to know that we're all thinking of him and praying for the best. |
