NEW YORK, July 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Las Vegas legend The Amazing Johnathan seamlessly mixes his unpredictable comedy, spontaneous magic and trademark gore with the not-so-capable help of his zany assistant, Psychic Tanya.

"The Amazing Johnathan: Wrong On Every Level" DVD is a single disc and features the original COMEDY CENTRAL stand-up special which was taped at the Hudson Theatre in New York City. The Amazing Johnathan combines magic performance with his signature off-the-wall humor and abrasive wit.
