Roy Horn

Roy Horn, the trainer-performer of the Siegfried and Roy illusionist team that captivated Las Vegas for 14 years until Roy was tragically mauled in 2003 by a white tiger spooked by a loud noise, is gone.  This time it’s no illusion. Roy succumbed to complications of the COVID-19 virus.  I was honored that CNN chose my images, taken when I was invited to walk with him and Siegfried onstage among the white lions and tigers, as the featured photo in its tribute to this gracious and talented man who deeply loved the beasts he coached.
