Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn were a German duo who captured the amazement of crowds around the world with their stage performances. They initially met on a cruise ship and began performing together in the 1960s. They wowed audiences with their circus-like acts and dazzling magic shows.
Siegfried and Roy quickly built a name for themselves and by 1990, they were offered an incredible opportunity to work at The Mirage in Las Vegas. These shows were extravagant and unique. Each year some 400,000 people watched their acts. They were perhaps most famous for performing with white tigers and lions. Headlining in Vegas propelled them into stardom and fame. They performed to sell-out crowds for 13 years until, in 2003, their show came crashing to a tragic end.
