Siegfried Fischbacher
Entertainer, illusionist, kitty kraut.
June 13, 1939 – January 13, 2021.
Aged 81 years.

Most recognized for: He was the Siegfried in “Siegfried & Roy,” the infamously gay lions & tigers magic act. They were considered to be the single most successful entertainment attraction in Las Vegas history, with 30 years of sold out crowds under their fancy, sequinned leather belts. Then his boy Roy got mauled… first by one of their big, stupid cats, and then by COVID. Less than a year later, Mr. Fischbacher made his final disappearance.
