Magicians and dance parties: Matt Nagy bringing fun to the Chicago Bears

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- There was "Club Dub," the Chicago Bears' postgame victory party, and the "American Idol"-themed dance-offs on Saturday mornings.

Surely the fun-loving, free-wheeling Bears had seen it all from Matt Nagy, their 41-year-old head coach. But the man largely responsible for flipping the organization's stale culture on its head had a new trick up his sleeve -- literally.

"So he got us, like, a magician," Bears cornerback Prince Amukamara said. "It was amazing. This guy was unreal."

Matthew Furman is something of an institution at corporate events. He has performed at functions for golfer Zach Johnson and NBA MVP Steph Curry as well as Notre Dame football, the New York Jets, New York Giants and Miami Dolphins.
