Watch: Jon Dorenbos Impresses On 'America's Got Talent'

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- "I know that name."

That's what Howie Mandel said when veteran Eagles long snapper Jon Dorenbos stepped up to the stage on 'America's Got Talent' on Tuesday night.

Dorenbos, 35, stunned the judges with his brilliant magic trick and got four yes', advancing to the next round.

Dorenbos has been practicing magic since he was 12-years-old and performs in the offseason.

"You're just in the zone and you're doing what you love to do," Dorenbos said of his performance Wednesday on the 94WIP Morning Show. "It's a place for me, that I feel comfortable."

Dorenbos did a card trick, in which Simon Cowell picked a "three of clubs" at the very end, the exact card Dorenbos placed inside of a paper clip at the start of the trip.

"Everything else I've stolen from other people and that's my own," Dorenbos said of his magic trick. "That routine is kind of something that I came up with. I took a bunch of stuff from a bunch of magicians. And it's hard. I wanted to pick something that was hard."

Dorenbos is also the commissioner of 94WIP's Wing Bowl.
