'''Rudy Coby''' known also by his stage persona '''Labman''', is a professional, comedic magician. He is a member of the Magic Castle in Los Angeles, and is currently working in Minneapolis taping episodes for the upcoming Rudy Coby Show. A long time friend of [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]], Rudy also lent his abilities in magic and optical illusions to Manson's stage performance, most notably on Manson's 2007 [[Rape of the World]] tour, where Coby modified his classic android Nikki Terminator into a portrayal of Manson's girlfriend [[Evan Rachel Wood]]. The Evan robot appeared on stage as an assistant, who would often deliver [[Mansinthe]] to the singer before having its head removed and sung to by Manson. During performances, the robot would walk, talk, and even be stripped of its skin to reveal bare wires. Other Labman derived props that Manson has utilized, most predominantly during the [[Grotesk Burlesk]] tour, was Coby's infamous three-legged walk, as well as extendable arms.<ref>[[Interview:2010/10 "A Three-Minute Act and You Can Tour the World" (Interview with Rudy Coby)]]</ref> | '''Rudy Coby''' known also by his stage persona '''Labman''', is a professional, comedic magician.
