Roy, of 'Siegfried and Roy', attacked by tiger
LAS VEGAS, Nevada (AP) -- A tiger attacked magician Roy Horn of the duo "Siegfried & Roy" at his throat during a Friday night performance at The Mirage hotel-casino, authorities said.
Horn was taken to University Medical Center, where he was listed in critical condition, said hospital spokeswoman Cheryl Persinger.
Firefighters were called to the hotel-casino about 8:45 p.m. and found Horn had been attacked, said Clark County Fire spokesman Bob Leinbach.
The illusionists, who put on one of the most well-known and expensive Las Vegas shows with their signature white tigers and lions, signed a lifetime contract with the Mirage in 2001.
Fishbachler, 64, and 59-year-old Horn have performed together in Las Vegas for more than 30 years. They opened at the Mirage hotel-casino in February 1990.
