Siegfried Fischbacher, Magician of Siegfried & Roy, Dies at 81

[MurrayDelph]

3. Saw them twice in Vegas

(Both times because my traveling companion wanted to see them).

Their "big" illusion had the following sequence
1. Fancy motorcycle is brought onto stage on top of unassembled giant box of mystery.
2. Box is assembled with motorcycle inside.
3. Roy, wearing motorcycle partners, puts on an opaque helmet and walks all the way around the giant box of mystery, tapping it to show the box is solid
4. Siegfried them also puts on an opaque helmet and walks all the way around the giant box of mystery, tapping it to show the box is solid
5. Box is hosted into the air.
6. Sides are dropped to show Siegfried und Roy sitting on motorcycle.


On the plus side, he was an excellent quick-change artist.
