Jon Dorenbos played 14 seasons in the NFL, notably making the Pro Bowl twice as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, as well as being the Ed Block Courage Award recipient and the Eagles Walter Payton Man of the Year. He also holds the record for the most consecutive games played in the Philadelphia Eagles’ franchise history.
Jon Dorenbos competed on Season 11 of America’s Got Talent where he showcased his skills as a sleight-of-hand Magic & Magician, making it to the finals and placing third overall amongst over 100,000 competitors. He then displayed his talent as a guest on Ellen, who quickly became one of his biggest fans and advocates. Jon appeared on Ellen more than any other guest in the show’s history. He also has been featured on HBO Real Sports more than any other guest in that show’s history.
He retired from the NFL after he was diagnosed with a life-threatening heart condition requiring 15 hours of emergency open-heart surgery. Known for his great sense of humor and positive outlook on life, Jon uses his skills as a magician and his incredible life story to inspire audiences worldwide. He wrote a book titled Life Is Magic that draws a roadmap for how to shut that self-doubting voice up by choosing to find happiness in every situation. Producer Mike Tollin has optioned the book and is making it into a feature film. The screenplay is being written by John Gatins, who was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for the drama film Flight with Denzel Washington.
In times of turmoil, difficulty and stress, stories have the power to inspire when we need it most. By any measure, Jon Dorenbos’ life has been full of adversity, but his story — heart-wrenching, joyful and hilarious — shows us a way to keep sight of the truth that Life is Magic, even now.
Jon shares his inspiring story from losing his parents at the age of 12, working through the foster care system to making it to the NFL Pro Bowl. It’s an amazing story of overcoming adversity, heart and perseverance.
