CHANGSHA - A magician from Taiwan said on Wednesday that he will crest the world's second highest tower in one second during a show airing nationwide on New Year's Eve.

"I will first vanish from the tower's outdoor platform, and, just one second later, I will be standing indoors on its top floor 450 meters above ground," said Ding Jianzhong, who gained popularity in the Chinese mainland after his performance on the Spring Festival Gala, China's most-watched TV event.

Ding's magic trick will be staged in the city of Guangzhou's Canton Tower, the world's second tallest tower, according to the program's broadcaster.

The magic show, which is scheduled for the last second of 2011 Beijing Time, will be broadcast live through a countdown concert on Hunan TV.

The magician said he plans to bring one or two audience members to perform the trick with him.

"Don't blink," Ding said.
