Magical Maestro (1952)
After Poochini rejects a magician to open for him, he torments Poochini on stage by making rabbits appear and disappear during his performance, and changing him into different characters throughout. Poochini ends up conducting an orchestra in this opera spoof. This is a "real" classic. You have to see the "everything I have is yours" reference to believe it... The Svengali-like illusionist mesmerizes an opera singer with his "lit-tle ma-gic wand."
