Eagles long snapper pulls off wild magic trick on 'America's Got Talent'
Jon Dorenbos wowed everyone on the show with a trick you have to see to believe
If the NFL ever decides to give out an award to the player with the weirdest side job, there's a good chance that Eagles long snapper Jon Dorenbos would win it every year.
You see, when Dorenbos isn't on the field, he passes his time as a magician.
When we say magician, we're not talking about your crazy uncle who pulls a quarter out of your ear. We're talking about an expert who's so good at what he does that he was asked to perform on America's Got Talent.
Dorenbos first appeared on the show in June and pulled off a card trick that was so good, the judges moved him on to the next round, which went down this week.
This time around, Dorenbos had to top himself, and that's exactly what he did on Tuesday night. I'm not even going to try and explain his trick, just watch it below and be in awe (Dorenbos gets off to a slow start, but he does it on purpose:
See why @NeYoCompound hit his #GoldenBuzzer for the @Eagles' amazing player/magician, @JonDorenbos. #JudgeCutshttps://t.co/CYxhAMFbwm

After the trick, one of the judges (Ne-Yo) was so impressed that he hit the Golden Buzzer for Dorenbos. That's a big deal because each judge only gets one Golden Buzzer to use per season, and since Dorenbos got one, it means he automatically gets to advance to the next round, which will air live on NBC on July 26.
Oh, and just in case you're wondering, they take that Golden Buzzer seriously at America's Got Talent.
I think they bought all the gold confetti on the East Coast for that picture.
Anyway, the bad news for Dorenbos is that if he keeps advancing on the show, then he might have to start missing practice. Eagles players are scheduled to report for training camp on July 27, which is just one day after he's scheduled to appear on America's Got Talent.
If things don't end up working out on the show, maybe he can pull off the ultimate trick and make the Eagles magically appear in Super Bowl LI.
