In the fall of 2016, Dorenbos astounded the judges of “America’s Got Talent” with his combination of magic and uplifting stories stemming from his difficult childhood. His unique performances earned him third place in the competition among tens of thousands of contestants.

Practicing illusions since the age of 12, Dorenbos is a master magician who incorporates comedy and the love of football into his performances. Audiences experience a deeply personal and engaging show and discover the magic that has shaped Dorenbos’ life. From struggles turned into successes to lighthearted stories from the locker room when he was an Eagles player, Dorenbos delivers a night filled with fun, yet insightful storytelling.

“Everyone at SugarHouse is excited and can’t wait to be amazed by Jon Dorenbos’ inspiring and unbelievable show,” said Wendy Hamilton, general manager of SugarHouse Casino. “We are thrilled to welcome an Eagle’s fan favorite back to Philadelphia.”

Aside from his time on “America’s Got Talent,” Dorenbos is known as the NFL’s “magic man” who played for 14 years, 11 of which were as the long snapper for the Philadelphia Eagles. He retired in 2016 after major open-heart surgery but continues his legacy as the host of “Inside the Eagles,” for which he won Emmy Awards in 2008 and 2015.

Tickets for Dorenbos’ show and for all SugarHouse performances, including The O’Jays (Jan. 27), Chris Tucker (Feb. 10) and The Revolution (March 9), can be purchased on the SugarHouse Casino headliner events page.

In addition to live performances and concerts, the SugarHouse Casino Event Center can be reserved for a variety of occasions, including weddings, corporate receptions, seminars, trade shows and more. The space features floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic views of the Delaware River waterfront and the Ben Franklin Bridge. Parking is always free.
