Oklahoma Sooners running back Samaje Perine, who will enter the 2017 NFL Draft in April, proposed to his longtime girlfriend Megan with the help of magician Daniel Fernandez.

After doing a few tricks with Perine’s teammates, Fernandez invites Perine and his girlfriend Megan to perform a mind-bending activity together to prove their connection.

Fernandez has Megan write what Samaje means to her on a playing card, and then fold it up and bite down on the card. Perine does the same, and Fernandez then tells the couple to kiss.

The cards somehow switch places during the kiss, and Megan pulled the card out of her mouth only to be stunned by a proposal Samaje had written.
