Jon Dorenbos is a former professional football player and magician.  He played for 14 seasons in the NFL as a long snapper with the Tennessee Titans and Philadelphia Eagles.  He had a parallel career as a magician and was a finalist on America's Got Talent, placing third overall amongst tens of thousands of competitors. He is a regular guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and his new book is called “Life is Magic: My Inspiring Journey from Tragedy to Self-Discovery.”   Some interesting insights from this episode: Don't listen to that negative inner voice which is constantly doubting yourself. Rather, you should talk to yourself out loud and say where you plan to go in life. The narrative you tell yourself is going to ultimately become your own reality. Magic was more that tricks. It was a form of meditation that helped him heal his emotional wounds.  Magic allowed him to quiet all the negativity and just be lost in the moment.  On his path to becoming an NFL star, he had to first get picked up by a division I school and to do so, he doctored up some long snapping footage of other players to look like it was his own. He knew in his heart he was really good enough and was willing to do whatever it took to give himself a chance. Being a long snapper requires extreme mental toughness. You might only play 10 plays the entire game so you have to be able to have closure quickly, you have to be able to forgive, and you have to be able to move on. Things are easy or difficult based on how we perceive them in our mind. If you think it's easy, it is, and vice versa.  The key ingredients to success for both magic and football are discipline, hard work, passion, and a drive to want to be great and change the world. You need to decide which story you choose to hold onto. Focusing on the negative or positive stories in your life will dictate the kind of life you're going to live. “Excellence is about showing up. Showing up every day, showing up on time, and showing up ready to work.”

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview NFL All-Pro Philadelphia Eagles Star Jon Dorenbos of NBC's America's Got Talent. Jon Dorenbos is an NFL player on the Philadelphia Eagles who was thrust into the national spotlight when he became the country's most beloved magician during his magical summer long run to the finals on season 11 of “America's Got Talent.” Dorenbos got in to magic just before his 13th birthday and instantly fell in love with it. Magic became an escape during a time of mourning and transition in his life as he was obsessed with the sleights and skills involved. He spent all day, every day, practicing and rehearsing in front of the mirror. Dorenbos' aunt, Susan, had a friend, Ken Sands, who was a magician and she made the introduction. Sands became a mentor, friend and father figure for Dorenbos for years to come. Sands didn't just teach Dorenbos the fundamentals of a trick, he taught him how to find himself as a performer.
