“Jonathan is a perfectionist. It shows in his pure sleight of hand and the way he thinks.” – Dean Dill
“After having given many Performance Workshops, it was a real pleasure for me to watch magic through the performance of a real actor. Is there a difference? You bet. Jonathan’s performance is clear, focused, intelligent, and professional. (Note: Like magic should be done.) The magic is well served by Jonathan’s audience management. He knows how to tell a story, engage his audience, and sell a trick. The effects, while different, are within everyone’s reach, yet his style and presentation make them memorable. Do yourself a favor, watch this DVD.” – Bob Fitch
