Roy Horn: ‘I’m doing better’

Illusionist Roy Horn of Siegfried & Roy, who was mauled on stage by a tiger in October, says he’s on the mend and is working hard with a physical therapist, a German magazine reported Wednesday.

“You know, I almost had two feet in the grave, but now I’m doing better,” the weekly Bunte quoted Horn as saying in a telephone interview from his Las Vegas home.

“I have hired the same trainer as Christopher Reeve and am working with him for nine hours a day,” Horn, 59, added. Reeve, who starred in four “Superman” movies, was paralyzed from the neck down in a 1995 horseback-riding accident.
