Eagles star Jon Dorenbos does ‘America’s Got Talent’ magic trick (video)

Philadelphia Eagles player Jon Dorenbos recently wowed the “America’s Got Talent” judges with an impressive magic trick which has quickly gone viral.

NFL player Jon Dorenbos is not only a Pro Bowl long snapper for the Eagles, he’s also apparently a talented magician. Dorenbos has been appearing on the “America’s Got Talent” show and has performed several impressive tricks to wow the judges, including Howie Mandel and Simon Cowell. His latest, which has become a YouTube video hit, may be his best yet.

First off, it’s a drawing challenge. Dorenbos gives each of the four judges a sheet of paper and asks them to each draw something on it. He calls it a “personality test,” which will tell him who drew which object.

He gets the first drawing right, correctly saying that Mel B drew a small heart. He follows that up by guessing that Howie drew a sweater, before matching the drawing of a butterfly to Heidi Klum.

For Simon’s piece, Dorenbos tells him to keep it hidden. Dorenbos said he would predict what Simon drew by drawing the same thing on a sheet himself. He jokingly asks if Cowell has drawn a pickle on a treadmill, to which Simon says “no.” Dorenbos plays it up as he turns around his sheet to reveal the word “no” as well.

While all that seems cool, the best part of the trick comes after all of that, when Dorenbos really shows how good his magic is. The clip above shows it all in a “how the heck did he do that?” type moment. As of this report, it was nearing 400,000 views on YouTube.

With that impressive trick, and several before it, he has a very good shot at winning “AGT.” However, as Dorenbos noted in the clip, he’s also got practice for his other job, the NFL.

Stay tuned to see if Dorenbos is the next big winner on “America’s Got Talent.” With a diehard Eagles fanbase and his magical skills, it won’t be surprising to see him capture plenty of votes!
