I'd like to be as healthy as these guys with doing what they do. You can't be in anything other than perfect health to do what these guys do. Siegfried had the flu, and if you've ever had that type of flu it knocks you down. But we've been up and running for two weeks without missing a show.

As magicians it is ultimately gratifying to help restore people's belief in their dreams. The dream has been quite real for the duo since first performing on the Strip in 1974. At the time young people from Europe were saving money all summer to see shows in Las Vegas and were being turned away at the door because they were underage. It was the beginning of big-time family entertainment in the city. They changed the face of entertainment in Las Vegas and are changing even as the city changes.
