There was stunned disbelief when master illusionists Siegfried & Roy announced about 14-weeks ago that they would perform a magical one-night-only comeback.

Some people went so far as to say there was no way they would be able to live up to their promise of an “on-stage magical moment appearance” for next February’s Lou Ruvo Brain Institute charity fundraising dinner. Now I can put the skeptics to rest because Siegfried himself has confirmed to me that the two wizards have begun their advance preparations.

“The process is underway” he told me at their Spago dinner after Cher’s premiere at Caesars Palace. “It’s a little slow going but we have started. We have been playing with some new ideas and polishing some more familiar ones. It wont be ambitious, fairly small in fact but we will definitely have our one time magical moment and it is great for Roy to have this new target in front of him. He is as excited as I am about accomplishing what we have promised.” The two former Mirage headliners who sold out for an amazing 14-year-plus run have been pulling out past tricks and magic props at their warehouse and both say they are pleased the process has started and continues onward.
