Siegfried, Roy & Montecore Encore

Siegfried & Roy made their comeback with a star-studded charity performance Saturday night in Las Vegas with the very same tiger that ended their signature Sin City showcase five years ago.
Roy Horn and Siegfried Fischbacher took to a smoke-filled stage at the Bellagio hotel-casino and performed a single, eight-minute illusion that featured Montecore, the 380-pound Bengal tiger that mauled Horn while the pair performed at the MGM Mirage back in October 2003.

Rug Cleaning Day at Siegfried and Roy's

A Tiger by the Tale...

Siegfried and Roy seem to have a lot of secrets, like where they bury their pets...

Many were interred near Little Bavaria, say the authors of "The Secret Life of Siegfried & Roy: How the Tiger Kings Tamed Las Vegas."

Roy Horn not only kept the cremated ashes of his favorite dogs and big cats on shelves of his bedroom, the book claims, but often used a Louis Vuitton handbag to carry the urn with his mother's ashes on weekly retreats to Little Bavaria.
"Before setting out in his Rolls-Royce, ever-faithful son Roy would carefully fasten Miss Horn's remains tightly with the seatbelt," according to the book, which was written by former Siegfried and Roy employees Jimmy Lavery, Jim Mydlach, and Louis Mydlach, along with best-selling author Henrietta Tiefenthaler.

The book also alleges that two trainers were attacked by big cats a half-hour apart years ago, but were taken to separate hospitals to avoid "bad press."
Staffers of the illusionists heard rumors that Siegfried Fischbacher might have fathered at least one child, the authors said.

Siegfried & Roy Return to the Stage

Siegfried & Roy announced they will come out of retirement next year to perform at the "Keep Memory Alive" Alzheimer's fundraiser in Las Vegas.
It will be their first stage appearance in over 4 years, since Roy Horn was attacked by a white tiger and nearly died on Oct. 3, 2003, at The Mirage in Las Vegas.

They made the surprise announcement Saturday at the 12th annual Alzheimer's benefit for the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute during the gala at the MGM Grand Garden.

San Francisco Zoo Mauling: Unanswered Questions...

• How long will it take the investigation to figure out that the 300 lb cat jumped the moat?
• What is the penalty for shooting an endangered species in a Public Zoo?
• What page of the tiger trainers handbook states "...if you bite off a trainers arm you will be okay and never hurt again"?
• Will Siegfried or Roy visit the survivors in the San Francisco General Hospital?( they could use a trip to SF for New Years I think). Siegfried always says ROY is the magic, maybe this is a chance to see it work.
