Uwe Ludwig Horn, a German magician and entertainer of international acclaim, better known by his professional stage name Roy Horn, forged an enduring partnership with his long-standing collaborator Siegfried Fischbacher to form the legendary duo Siegfried and Roy, a pair of performers who consistently astonished and mesmerized audiences with their spectacular shows featuring majestic white lions and tigers, showcasing their exceptional skills and artistry.
Tragically, the illustrious and storied career of a renowned individual, whose name has become synonymous with excellence in their field, came to an abrupt and unforeseen conclusion on October 3, 2003, when they were suddenly and brutally struck down by a devastating and life-altering attack, the severity of which was unprecedented and utterly devastating.
This fateful event occurred during a performance at the Mirage in Las Vegas, a city known for its dazzling lights, vibrant energy, and endless entertainment options, where the unsuspecting individual was brutally assaulted by a ferocious and malevolent force, a seven-year-old white tiger named Mantacore, whose actions would forever shatter the illusion of safety and security.
Tragically, the life of the renowned illusionist, Horn, was tragically and unexpectedly brought to a premature close on May 8, 2020, when he succumbed to the devastating consequences of COVID-19 at the tender age of 75.
His long-time partner, the equally accomplished magician, Siegfried Fischbacher, publicly mourned the loss of his dear friend, lamenting the fact that the world had been deprived of the talents of one of its most exceptional magicians, while he, Fischbacher, had suffered the unbearable loss of his closest confidant and trusted companion.
