Cup and Ball Routine in a McDonald’s Commercial Sparks Buzz

On December 17, Taiwanese magician Daxien the Illusionist (幻術大仙) appeared in a McDonald’s commercial that quickly became a trending topic on social media. In the ad, he performed his signature routine "San Xian Gui Dong" (三仙歸洞), a cup-and-ball style illusion, to promote the McDonald’s mobile app.

Since 2024, Daxien has been in high demand for corporate promotions on social media. He has already appeared in campaigns for more than 20 companies, each time generating significant online buzz. "Companies today are looking for influencers, and they see me not as just a magician, but as an influencer," he said.

Fans are now wondering which brand Daxien will collaborate with next—his growing presence continues to draw attention.
