Magician rips up sign of homeless veteran. Watch what he does next

Street magician, Rob Anderson, known on his YouTube channel for stunts like pulling zombie pranks on people or free beer magic experiments, explains in one of his latest videos that he wanted to check out a homeless veteran that people were telling him about, and who just wanted to make people smile without expecting anything in return.

The homeless veteran is Alan McCracken, who served the U.S. Army for six years before he was honorably discharged. When he fell on hard times, he eventually ended up in Las Vegas where he can be seen on the streets holding up a sign that says, "Smile."
