Very Sad! THE AMAZING JOHNATHAN DEAD AT 63 ... Of Congestive Heart Failure

Stand-up comedian and shock magician "The Amazing Johnathan" is dead after battling heart issues for years.

An assistant to Jonathan's wife tells TMZ ... Johnathan passed Tuesday night while at home "cuddling" with his wife of 11 years, Anastasia Synn. We're told a hospice nurse had been staying with him for the last 3 weeks, and confirmed he had passed.

The former Las Vegas headliner, whose real name was Johnathan Szeles, had been diagnosed with congestive heart failure in 2007, and it's been a very tough road. The assistant says, "We have thought we lost him so many times that we never thought it would actually happen."

that you would see pop-up on some cable channel as you were surfing, and you just had to stop to see what crazy things he was going to do. He could work a crowd like few can. Sad news indeed.
