Literally jaw-dropping... the entire audience was gasping, laughing, and clapping throughout this amazing show. If you love the astonished feeling of "How did he DO that?" you will LOVE Jonathan's show! Witty, surprising, delightful - it's a great night out.

This was my first show with starring magician and it didn't leave me disappointed. In fact I had a fantastic time being a part of very engaged audience and unforgettable experience (still cant figure out any of the tricks :D ha! ) . Highly recommend this unique experience. Definitely worth your $ and time!

A friend and I watched Jonathan's show this weekend and really got a kick out of it. The performance was unique from others in Chicago and made for a fun time to go out. The nice thing about the show is that it's interactive and doesn't make you feel like you're just an audience. The venue is nice too- makes you feel like you're in an old time magic show!

I'm glad you appreciated the opportunity to be actively engaged with the show instead of just having it performed at you. It's a real-time collaboration, and I'm glad that came through.

This was SUCH a fun event! We organized a group of former colleagues to all be VIPs to the show - and it was SO FUN to watch everyone's facial expressions as Jonathan blew everyone's mind with his master skills! REALLY great show. Best laughs I've had in months. Highly recommend.

This was a very enjoyable way to spend an evening. Both of us were amazed by his mind reading and slight of hand. He is also funny and engaging which makes the experience even more memorable.
I said to my wife afterward that normally you're out in the audience and sometimes its hard to see. Here you feel so close up to him yet you still can not believe your eyes. Top notch!

That's one of the biggest benefits to the online show; it's front row seats for everyone! Glad you had fun, and you enjoyed it. That means the world to me. Thank you for the review!

Well, maybe you won't break your brain - but you'll definitely fold your mind.
This show was incredibly enjoyable, and well worth it. I attended this show online due to Covid . If you need something to do during the pandemic, I _highly_ recommend spending an evening with Jonathan.
If, on the other hand, by some act of God or whatever, civilization has returned and you're able to attend a show in person, then just know that I am really jealous.
Give this a try. You won't be disappointed.

Chicago has a decent amount of magic shows and a decent amount of comedy shows, but they can be VERY hit-or-miss. This show, on the other hand, is a sure-fire good time, and hits all the right notes from both genres.
You won't be seeing "magic tricks" strictly speaking, but you will see feats of mentalism (mind-reading) that will utterly blow your mind. You'll be asking yourself "HOW DID HE DO THAT?" and running the show through your head for days after the show, which makes it a gift that really, really keeps on giving. And during the performance itself, you're going to be laughing your head off — and even participating, if you're a skeptical type of person who wants to see what this mentalist can do first-hand. And there are PLENTY of opportunities for audience participation, if you're interested (fortunately, unlike stand-up comedy shows, this performer will never, ever pick you out from the audience unless you enthusiastically volunteer — so don't worry about going if you're shy!).
Overall this is easily one of the best shows you can see in downtown Chicago, especially in and around the Magnificent Mile. It's smart, hilarious, engaging, confounding, and memorable in a way that most shows just don't live up to. You do NOT want to miss this show while it's around, whether you're a tourist or you're a fellow Chicagoan like me. 10/10 would see again!

Jonathan's show was entertaining and always a delight. You have to ask yourself how does he do that, but knowing would take the magic out of it. Definitely worth seeing and you will be amazed. Great show!

The show was well planned. And there were many "wow" reactions. But in between at some point of time it was flat. Some more jokes or some more interaction could solve that.

Thank you for coming by the show, and I'm really happy that you enjoyed the show.
My goal is to make sure there are no flat times in the show, and to engage people as much as possible; even those who are not in a place where they can use video. Thanks for the heads up that there's still room to improve on that front.
