They headlined a wildly popular magic show at The Mirage, where they were known for their flamboyant costuming and stage acts involving big cats. The show was long-criticized for using these majestic and intelligent animals as props, but, for more than a decade, it was consistently sold out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2003, the show's run came to an abrupt end when one of the tigers, a 400-pound cat named Mantacore, attacked Horn during a live performance. Horn suffered catastrophic injuries and then suffered a stroke. To his credit, Horn protected Mantacore, insisting that no harm come to the tiger. Mantacore retired to the Mirage's Secret Garden habitat, where he lived for another ten years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis souvenir medallion depicts Siegfried and Roy with one of their tigers. The reverse advertises their show. The medallion comes encapsulated in its original case.
