Jon Dorenbos: Magician Delivers Jaw-Dropping Performance - America's Got Talent: The Champions

[@noelleequestrian2477]

“It’s a great day to be alive” that is honestly probably some of the most simple yet inspirational words a person could say

[@TheRootMessage]

Those were biblical teachings.. These "Magicians" are using super natural powers to pull these stunts off.

[@TheRootMessage]

How about watch the hours of documentary exposing these magicians and the face changers. Take your own advice and see there is no logical explanation, and there are youtubers who explain how to summon these demons for assistance. "look it up". @Scott James

[@MagicofKeelanWendorf]

Live life every day to the fullest 💯 break the loop and do something new every day. Continuously learn, build a better you every day, and inspire others 😁

[@DanielJayRobison]

@@TheRootMessage simple explanation for everything that was done. Sad you go through life looking for demons instead of looking for the positive. The saddest thing is, if you look for demons they will find you.

[@TheRootMessage]

Yeah, a simple explanation that you don't have an explanation too..Look up the Face Changers and the 4 hour documentary on youtube regarding demonic magicians. @@DanielJayRobison

Infinitely agree

[@joerenmaegallenero4931]

It wouldve been amazing if he turns the chalkboards first then the judges shows their cards or pictures

[@bxguan]

Joeren Mae Gallenero don't think it mattered as the fact that they are tied to video clips meant he knew all along. In fact by showing the cards first people might think he drew on afterward, then he would've successfully debunked those by showing the clips in that order

Shin is amazing. But this guy Jon. Everything about him is amazing. His presentation. His spirit. He's more than just a magician. Amaaazzionng. The last part of the act was beyond jaw dropping. rooting for him... "Its a great day to be alive"

[@Funkytrip73]

Until you find out that his stage presence is all he has. His tricks are mediocre. Extremely mediocre actually compared to Shin. No jaw-dropping here, sorry. But still, awesome presentation, give him that.

[@aaronv.7499]

Shafna Fahick Shin Lim’s tricks and presentation is pure skill with lots of practice and sleight of hand. This guy’s trick is good but everyone could do it if you learn how, it’s like learning a piano piece. Shin Lim is the winner for me.

[@MegaOrthoman]

He's just forcing cards on the judges

[@budderkupp1282]

Shafna Fahick You can buy the "magic chalkboards" that Jon was using online. Issy Simpson, the 8 yr old magician uses the same so-called chalkboard in her performance. Very simple tricks performed by both Jon and Issy. Shin Lim though.. is a master wizard..he is all MAGIC!!

[@studentstudy162]

His tricks Are jaw dropping if you have no knowledge about magic but Professional Magicians cannot figure how Shin's Trick Work.Jon's trick are mediocre.People who know 0% about magic they will say Jon is better than Shin But Shin fooled Penn n Teller 2 times!He is far far better than Jon..

Well, we have a touchdown! 🏈

[@stevew1392]

He’s terrible. He does a minor variation of the same trick each time and if you pay attention to the moment the judge’s make their pick, he’s sloppy and you can see what he’s doing. Like when Howie flips to Omaha and he hands him the bottom paper that says Tulsa. Pathetic. Shin Lim is a real magician, not this garbage.

@@stevew1392 that was supposed to happen. howie was supposed to take the bottom paper, not the top.

This guy is not just a magician he just not amazed you by sight but also by heart. Hope he'll win.

[@jhall2593]

This guy has had more second chances- losing both parents, ending a successful football career due to a condition that almost killed him, 2 marriages and now his being a wild card act- and he's used all of them to his advantage! Jon's great in my book! This act here takes coincidences to a whole new level!

[@ryansnowberger3177]

A true master magician, completely in control of his own destiny, in every way, yet it feels so random. That's what makes Jon so special, he keeps the energy in every movement, every word, every reveal, and delivers a truly unbelievable result. And Jon is pure, honest, and completely enthusiastic. A true legend.

[@TheSloansFour]

Had the pleasure of watching him today. This guy is awesome, entertaining and a joy to watch.

[@lvlboss9102]

If he had did that in his last season, I’m pretty sure he would have won.

[@stephenolan5539]

I still think in the regular series for his last act he was not going for the win. I think he was still a football star at heart at that time and was going for being inspirational rather than the win,

[@justinvader8141]

No Shin Lim is better

Jon's 1st profession should have been magic instead of football, he is just that good!!!

[@tutuuo]

Darci won

[@joellucatero2529]

I almost agreed with you. Then I got to thinkin about it and it ocurred to me, that if it hadn't of been for football, we might not have had the chance to enjoy this video. The condition he had that required emergency surgery to save his life, a couple years back, was found when he took a mandatory physical to approve of him being traded to another team. It would have been his first time playing for a different team, which is rare for a guy in the league for 13 years. Things aligned just the way they were suppose to for Jon Dorenbos. This definitely is one of my favorite performances ever.

[@coreycunliffe9091]

Football give him a long career and always probably put over 10milliom dollars in his bank account and set him financially for life. No magic can just be for fun and a passion for rest of his life without worrying about supporting his family
