Siegfried Fischbacher
He and his late partner, Roy Horn, dazzled Vegas audiences at The Mirage for more than a decade.
Siegfried Fischbacher, the ace illusionist who made big animals appear and disappear as one-half of the breathtaking Las Vegas magic act Siegfried & Roy, has died. He was 81.
Fischbacher died of pancreatic cancer Wednesday at his home in Las Vegas, his rep confirmed to
The Hollywood Reporter. His sister, Dolore, a nun who lives in Munich, told the German news agency dpa: I could pray with him and tell him that I will always be with him in my heart.
Fischbacher s funeral services will be private with plans for a public memorial in the future, his rep said. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health (www.keepmemoryalive.org).
