THE GERMAN-BORN DUO?S popular ?Siegfried & Roy? act would continue, Fischbacher told Bild.
?I?m sure he?s going to make a complete recovery,? said the 64-year-old illusionist. ?He?s over the worst. When I went to visit Roy he gave me the victory sign.?
Fischbacher said that he and Roy, who was born in the northern German town of Nordenham, were not quitters and that they would come back fighting.
?What happened does not mean it?s ended,? Fischbacher told Bild. ?Our show will go on. We?ve always been fighters. The history of ?Siegfried & Roy? is nowhere near its conclusion.?
Horn?s doctor, neurosurgeon Derek Duke, said in a statement in Las Vegas that it was still too early to say whether the performer would fully recovery from the attack.
?Mr Horn?s injury was extremely severe, and it is all but miraculous that he is alive at this time,? Duke said, crediting Horn?s ?extraordinary will and strong physical attributes.?
?While we are very pleased with his progress, Mr Horn is in critical condition and it will be quite some time before the extent of his recovery is known,? he said. ?Every day that passes increases his chance for survival and recovery.?
Horn, 59, remained in critical condition with a severe neck injury. He lost a large amount of blood in the attack, doctors said, and later had a stroke.
Duke disputed reports that Horn was in a drug-induced coma, and said it will be some time before the extent of Horn?s recovery will be known.
?A contributing factor to his current condition is his extraordinary will and strong physical attributes,? Duke said, reading from a statement. ?These are significant elements in his ability to recover.? He wouldn?t comment on whether Horn suffered any brain or spinal damage.
