Siegfried and Roy delighted
the entire world for about two decades with some of the greatest magic
performances and illusions ever seen on stage, for years the master
illusionists created their own way to mix of visual elements, charm, and felines
improving the thrill of the Las Vegas
shows. Now Siegfried and Roy said they have plans to
perform a one night only show in Las
Vegas.
The famous duo has been
outside the stage since the fatal accident in October 2003. Roy
was severely injured by one of his Siberian white tigers, Montecore, who attacked
Roy and dragged
him off-stage. Roy
suffered severe neck injuries and a major blood loss that kept him hospitalized
for several weeks. Doctors said that Roy
heart stopped beating three times during several delicate surgical procedures
and that series of other strokes made them think that the famous illusionist was
never be able to recover.
“I make a promise that one
year from tonight at next year’s gala Roy
and I will return and we will perform magic again. That is the new goal, our
next dream. We will make that come true” Siegfried said.
The
famous magicians will perform at the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute's "Keep
Memory Alive" designed by architect Frank Gehry and set to open in
downtown Las Vegas
in 2009.
