In the circus business, Siegfried and Roy had a famous name. Their performance, which included felines, actors, and magic, was a visitor magnet in Hollywood and Las Vegas.

The video of the event, which occurred on Horn’s birthday, October 3, 2003, and shows the tiger assaulting Roy has been circulating on the internet once again.

The duo’s Vegas act was cut short when a 380-pound white tiger attacked Roy Horn onstage. In 2010, the two officially retired.

The two had just celebrated Horn’s 59th birthday and 43 years of great collaboration the night before.

In 1960, Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn met on a cruise ship. Horn, a pageboy from Nordenham in Bremerhaven, northwest Germany, worked aboard the ship as an entertainer, while Fischbacher, a Bavarian, worked as a pageboy.

They traversed the globe together. They arrived in Las Vegas in the 1970s after periods in Bremen, Paris, Monte Carlo, and Puerto Rico.
