The youngest of three children, Jonathan was born in New York and has been intrigued by magic since seeing his first magic show at age seven. Within a year, he'd convinced his parents to sign him up for a weekly magic class and then a summer camp for magicians where he could watch professionals in action and learn the tricks of the trade. He attended the camp for six years.

Even while learning his range of skills, Jonathan began earning money from his magic. As a grade school student, he performed for private engagements and shows for corporations. He used these earnings to pay for private magic coaching from a world champion magician.

After high school, Jonathan went to college to study theater, dance and design. In his free time, he studied at the American Mime School in New York City.

Jonathan always loved science fiction and his dream was to incorporate futuristic fantasies into an illusion show. This would require specially designed costumes and equipment to support carefully chosen themes.

His first such act was one he created in which his only magic prop was a TV screen. He would interact with the front of the screen and appear to actually remove objects from it. This act won him the IBM Award of Merit. Soon after, he was invited to Brussels to perform the act on European Television. Jonathan continued to expand his repertoire. He chose a talented female assistant with extensive acting and dance training. She would play a variety of characters in his illusion vignettes.

In the process of expanding his show, Jonathan earned numerous awards, including IBM 1st place Champion and the Grand Prize, Crystal Mandrake, in Paris.

Today, Jonathan performs a full evening show filled with original high-tech illusions. His futuristic urban style is like no other.

A year-round regular at Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas, Jonathan performed in casino's, cabarets, and on numerous television shows in countries that span five continents, including Spain, Monaco, Germany, Brazil, Africa, Japan and France. He was featured on NBC's special "World's Greatest Magic"
