Tiger Critically Injures Magician Roy Horn
LAS VEGAS - A tiger attacked magician Roy Horn of duo "Siegfried & Roy" during a Friday night performance, leaving the superstar illusionist in critical condition, authorities said.
An audience member at The Mirage hotel-casino said Horn, who turned 59 Friday, lunged at Horn, who tried to beat him off with a microphone.
"The tiger went for his neck, then drug him offstage," said Andy Cushman, a 23-year-old reporter from New Jersey. "He looked like a rag doll."
Mirage spokesman Alan Feldman said Horn "sustained a serious injury to the left side of his neck." Feldman said Horn was in surgery late Friday.
Horn was taken to University Medical Center, where he was listed in critical condition, said hospital spokeswoman Cheryl Persinger.
Cushman said Horn, the dark-haired member of the duo, appeared alone on stage with a white tiger about 45 minutes into the show, and told the audience the tiger was 9 years old and was making his debut.
A short time later, Siegfried Fisbacher appeared on stage and said the performance was canceled, Cushman said.
The German-born pair perform six shows a week, 44 weeks per year and have been performing in Las Vegas for more than 30 years. The illusionists signed a lifetime contract with the Mirage in 2001.
