Was actually a banned Vegas act with Barry Manilow and a magician. In the mid ‘80s Barry Manilow wanted to spice up his Vegas act by introducing a magician. After an extensive interview process he settled on Franz Horn (no relation). Franz is the
brother of
Roy Horn of Sigreid and
Roy fame. Franz was a less
popular magician because he used the old fashioned rabbit in the
hat rather than his brothers more extravagant tiger act. Well Barry Manilow’
s invite was the true calling for this lesser known
German immigrants career.
Well these two great minds combined their acts into a choreographed
music and magic show. The final song was Manilow's hit Copacabana. At the end of the song Manilow pulls down his pants and bends over. Franz reaches into Manilow ass and pulls out a bunny rabbit hence the Barry Manilow Wonder Bunny. Well as you guessed the critics did not favor this act and it was immediately canceled. Manilow went on to be a success in Vegas. Unfortunately Franz Horn took his own life in 1996. His magical wonders will be missed.
