Kyle Long is the next David Copperfield

By Blair Sheade

Bears guard Kyle Long has a strong personality on Twitter and loves to joke around with others. On Thursday, Long posted a video of him performing a magic trick that might blow people’s minds.

The Bears guard said he was doing his best Jon Dorenbos, the Philadelphia Eagles long snapper, impression. Dorenbos is known for his magic tricks in the locker room.

Long isn’t a Dorenbos caliber, but his magic trick is still pretty good.
