This will work if the wire isn't stapled to a joist or stud in the wall.  But 
make sure you loop and hook the two wires.  If the tape comes apart while 
pulling, you could lose everything somewhere in the wall.

Another solution is WireMold which looks industrial sometimes, or as were some 
of the existing phone lines in this house, staple them discreetly on or near 
the quarter-round along the baseboards and repaint the whole mess.  It is 
amazing how well you can camouflage them.
