Jon Dorenbos played in the NFL and may be even more impressive as a magician. But he came to both through tragedy. OnlyAGameNPR
Jon’s father had spent the previous night trying to clean up the evidence. But after Jon left for baseball camp, he turned himself into police.
Almost a year after the murder, Jon and his sister moved to Southern California to live with their aunt.Not long after the move, Jon returned to Washington for a Little League All-Star tournament. He stayed at his coach’s house. "And I felt like I was just a kid in that moment. I wasn't thinking about my dad going to prison. I wasn't thinking about my mom being killed. I wasn’t thinking about moving and having to start new friends. The world just became a really cool place for me."
' from Yanni — all night. And then, during the day, I would play football, right? It was just this perfect balance," Jon says.Magic was Jon’s escape. But sports gave Jon a sense of family — and, he thought, a way to bring positive attention back to his family name.Jon could’ve pursued college baseball, but he was set on football. He wanted to be a rock star — and run out onto the field for a Division I team in front of 100,000 people.
So Jon played for Golden West. They lost another 10 straight. But he was still set on playing Division I football. Whether or not he really"deserved" to be there, Jon definitely was good enough to play Division I football.He thinks the time he'd spent on magic helped him become a great long snapper.
