Roy Horn Speaks!
May
19, 2004
Illusionist ROY HORN, who was mauled by his 600-pound white tiger last October during he and
SIEGFRIED FISCHBACHER's famed Las Vegas show, spoke publicly for the first time in nearly 8 months since the tragic
accident. Tonight on ET, we bring you the latest on the persevering performer and the status of his white tiger.
The Insider has learned that MONTECORE, a Bengal tiger, is still living at an animal preserve
at the Mirage called The Secret Garden. The seven-year-old cat spends time with his mother and sister and is said to be doing
well. It's been reported that Roy has indeed visited with some of his animals, but has yet to see Montecore.
It was during NBC's fall lineup announcement on Monday in New York City that Siegfried and Roy, via
satellite from their Las Vegas home, spoke to the amazed journalists. Roy was alert, articulate and even funny during the
appearance, which was broadcast during Tuesday's "Today" show. The good-spirited Roy had some scars on his face from his numerous
surgeries and his left hand was motionless, likely due to the stroke he suffered during the attack.

Siegfried , was on a television progam here in the states 20/20. He was interviewed by Barbara Walters.

and fell.
Montecore sensed Roy was in trouble. Gently he carried Roy on stage behind the curtain …Siegfired
said if Montecore wanted to kill Roy, he would have within 2 seconds, then he would have turned and went after Siegfried.
Roy is still continuing to improve daily. He is now standing, can speak some and is writting. Siegfried says its
amazing to see the improvements.

SIEGFRIED'S
ROY UPDATE
December 1, 2003
SIEGFRIED FISHBACHER says his longtime magic partner ROY HORN was on blood pressure medication
and suffered a stroke on stage and then was grabbed by the white tiger Montecore, who took him off-stage. According to Siegfried,
the Oct. 3 incident occurred when Montecore sensed his trainer was in trouble and tried to help. Siegfreid says it was not
an attack or a mauling as has been widely reported. Two months after the accident, Roy continues to improve and may soon be
well enough to be released from UCLA Medical Center and spend Chrsitmas at home in Las Vegas

Vegas entertainer Horn
Roy Horn continues to improve
Roy Horn --
Six weeks after being mauled by a performing tiger, Las Vegas magician Roy Horn has seen "significant"
improvement, his manager said Friday.
Bernie Yuman, who manages the entertainment duo Siegfried & Roy, told CNN's Larry King that Horn
is "getting better every day."
"His improvement is significant," Yuman said.
Horn, 59, was moved to UCLA Medical Center in late October from a hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada, where
he was initially treated after a white tiger dragged him offstage by the neck during a performance at the MGM Mirage casino
and hotel.
In the October 3 accident, Horn suffered significant blood loss from the puncture wounds in his neck
and had a serious stroke shortly after arriving at the hospital, doctors said last month.
Horn and Siegfried Fischbacher have performed stage magic with big cats for decades and were among
the top attractions on the Las Vegas strip.
Yuman said he last saw Horn on Thursday, and that the entertainer is "working diligently" in his rehabilitation.
However, he would not respond when asked if Horn could feed himself.
"I'm here tonight to tell you and all of the viewers that we're really optimistic about where Roy is,"
the manager said.
"Siegfried and I both are very confident that Roy will perhaps do significantly better than most people
would under these circumstances because of his strong will and his strong beliefs," Yuman said.
Yuman said Horn continues to get tens of thousands of letters, e-mails and other forms of communication
daily.
"We thought perhaps at some point it would slow down," he said. "Instead, it's picking up speed."
