Liu Qian

Taiwan magician Liu Qian an overnight star on the mainland after he performed in the Spring Festival Eve TV Gala, is back making more tricks.

Liu has created two new magic shows for Nokia revolving around mobile phones.

In a short video he shot for the mobile phone giant, Liu makes envelopes, pigeons and fish come out of the phones. The video had more than 1 million clicks in one week on Nokia's website.

The Finnish company is one of many chasing the 33-year-old magician, who has become a big hit among mainland's young magic lovers.

Liu was coy when asked about one rumor that he has earned more than 10 million yuan ($1.47 million) in the three months since the TV show. "My manager controls my finances but I guess that must be the number," he said.

Liu will soon anchor a new show with CCTV called Magic Miracle.
