Known for their giant white tiger illusionist shows at the Mirage from the 1990s through 2003, Roy Horn and Siegfried Fischbacher welcomed five tinier, newer versions to their Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at The Mirage Thursday.

Although Siegfried and Roy retired from their magical act in 2003 after Horn was attacked by a white Bengal tiger during a performance, the duo are still actively involved in their mission to guard the giant felines from extinction.
