World-famous magicians Siegfried and Roy have vowed to once again perform magic in Las Vegas. The famed Sin City duo have not appeared together in a show since October 2003 when Roy was mauled by the pair's 600-pound Siberian white tiger, Montecore, who dragged the illusionist off-stage when he suffered a stroke.
Roy, who was celebrating his 59th birthday at the time of the attack, suffered neck injuries and major blood loss.
He later suffered an additional major stroke that forced surgeons to remove one-quarter of his skull to enable the swollen brain to expand.
Specialists said that he died three times on the operating table with a series of other strokes leading many to fear the illusionists would never again appear together on stage. But at a Las Vegas brain injury fundraiser the duo last night vowed they would once again perform their stage show.
Siegfried said: "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. The magic is back - although it may only be a one-night only appearance for now for the 'Masters of the Impossible!'
