Eagles long snapper Jon Dorenbos has had an interesting offseason. Unlike most NFL players, he's been spending a lot of his time as a contestant on a reality show.
For the past two months, Dorenbos has periodically showed up on America's Got Talent to show off his magic tricks. The tricks that Dorenbos has pulled off are so wild that he's advanced to the semifinals of the reality competition.
Here's one of the magic tricks that Dorenbos performed in July:

Anyway, the Eagles long snapper must have gotten tired of showing off his tricks to the America's Got Talent judges, because, last week, he decided to show them off to another group of people: Secret Service agents.
The agents were in Philadelphia for the Democratic National Convention, and of course, Dorenbos wowed them. I could try and explain the trick below, but it's a lot easier if you just watch the video.

You'd think that Secret Service agents could have maybe figured out how Dorenbos did the trick, but the judging by their reactions, that wasn't the case.
Dorenbos' magic has won over everyone this offseason, including new Eagles coach Doug Pederson, who doesn't even seem to care that his long snapper is missing training camp to perform on America's Got Talent.
"I'll tell you what, gosh, pulling for him," Pederson said on July 27. "He represents us, the organization, this city on that like a professional. Obviously his talent is something I think that when football is said and done for him, I think he's definitely got a career in Las Vegas or Atlantic City or wherever. But yeah, I'm pulling for him and excited for where he could go."
