We are completely devastated by the loss of our dear friend, Johnny Thompson who passed away in Las Vegas on March 9, 2019. He was 84. He is survived by his wife of forty-five years, Pamela Hayes Thompson and a stepson, Kevin Hayunga.

While he was well known as “The Great Tomsoni,” Johnny was also a master magician, actor, musician, consultant, collaborator, teacher, mentor and friend. He was a great and loving father, and he was a devoted husband to his wife, Pam. He will be very deeply missed.

May he rest in peace.
