Wendy's makes magic

From Strategy Online:

Working with agency MacLaren McCann, Wendy’s auditioned 10 different magicians and asked them to incorporate the burger into their routines. The stunt was filmed, with each of the 22 magic tricks shot in one take, and uploaded to Facebook and YouTube over several weeks as part of the “Wendy’s Pretzel Bacon Cheeseburger Magic Show.”

Which means we're 7 tricks short of the 22 shot. According to the post at Reality Based Magic, at least one of those involves Mark Lewis.

Off to search the internet we go!
