** Even better, he never does tell Le Fley how it was done, instead roping Le Fley's (neglected) son into completing the magic trick, and making the painting reappear in the special room, also while the door is closed, and the boy is the only one in the room. Confounding the parents even more. And Jonathan tops it off by reminding the boy what the first law of magic is (to never reveal how the trick is done).

As intelligent as Jonathan and GenreSavvy enough to keep ahead of everybody, in ''The Clue of the Savants Thumb'' he realises that two of his officers have been secretly working against him, foils their attempts to murder four people, then disables them both ''with nothing but his thumb.''

* When one of Adam's [[GirlOfTheWeek Girls Of The Week]], a character who is given barely any lines and only on screen for about two seconds, tricks him into wearing a Japanese kimono with calligraphy down the front that reads: "I am full of shit." Adam happily wears it around the theatre until an unimpressed theatre critic tells him what it says.

** Sidekick Maddy Magellan's [=CMoA=] comes in the episode "Ghosts Forge", when she pulls off a very impressive disappearing trick. Jonathan isn't fooled, of course; it's her triumph over the abominable Mimi Trantor that makes it so awesome.

* Jonathan has these in virtually every episode as he teases his various sidekicks about the solution to the current mystery. By far the best one comes in the episode "The Scented Room". His client is noted theatre critic Sylvester [=LeFley=] who wrote a damning article about a show Jonathan was involved in. In the episode he has a valuable painting stolen and Jonathan's [=CMoA=] comes with this line:
--->'''Jonathan:''' I know exactly how your painting disappeared, Mr. Le Fley. I'm just not gonna tell you.

* Halfway through ''The Black Canary'', the murder victim's husband is revealed to be a crack-shot. This is slightly ominous considering he's infirm in practically every other respect, and that his wife shot herself. At the end of the episode, the wheelchair bound and half-deaf man ''shoots the rope that his daughter is trying to hang herself with'' from an upstairs window. "There's nothing wrong with my eyes," indeed.

* After being little more than a tagalong for the duration of ''Satan's Chimney'', Carla saves Jonathan's life after they confront the killer. He is on the verge of strangling Jonathan, but Carla manages to talk him down after she spots a dog on the premises and tells him that Jonathan's (non-existent) Scottie will die of neglect without him, correctly intuiting that the killer is a dog-lover.

Click * Whenever Jonathan gives a [[TheSummation Summation]] at the edit button end of the episode. Usually an introspective, sarcastic, rather anti-social guy, he always gets a gleam in his eye and speaks with relish whenever he's given the floor.
