Does that guy 'The Amazing Jonathon' perform anywhere in Vegas?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, he is at the Sahara now. 10PM nightly, dark Thursdays.

Here is the latest review by Mike Weatherford of the LV Review-Journal

Never seen his show. That might be a good idea for the next trip.

I love everything Ive seen on TV from Penn & Teller, but their live act is not that good. I agree with a previous poster that said the begining was cool enough but then it gets boring. After I left I had buyers remorse. And its 80 bucks iirc.

I would love to see the amazing jonathan next time Im there.

I have seen about a dozen magic shows when I was in Vegas a year ago. I think I liked MacKing the best. Extremely funny and good magic.
Lance Burton was good too, although it felt like he was sponsored by some brand of toothpaste. He smiled continually even when talking so it looked like he was practicing ventriloquism.
The first part of The Amazing Jonathan was nice, the second part I didn't find as funny.
Penn & Teller were great. Funny, some great magic and very professional.
Another show I really liked was World's Greatest Magic. They had different magicians performing and they're not the same ones every show. When I was there Kevin James and Juliana Chen were the two I still remember. I think Kevin James does perform there every show.
Showgirls of Magic had crappy magic, but it had boobs.

I'll add my voice to the crowd saying Penn & Teller. It's the only magic act I've seen in Vegas, so I can't really contrat it to the other options, but I definitely had a good time.

I saw The Amazing Johnathan last year before he moved to the Sahara, and he's great, the old theater was a total dive, so i hope the new place is nice. The magic is far from spectacular so if thats what you're looking for go see lance burton.

Mac King is hilarious and is adult oriented. A must see. Penn & Teller to me is a waste of time. Mac King without a doubt. You'll thank yourself for going.
