Five months after he was mauled by a tiger, illusionist Roy Horn of "Siegfried & Roy" was able to walk again with the help of a wheeled walking aid, a spokeswoman for the duo said Tuesday.
Horn, 59, managed to walk 558 paces last week with the assistance of the device, spokeswoman Claudia Dressler said, adding that he has "strong willpower" and is training intensively.
Horn's partner, German-born magician Siegfried Fischbacher, has downplayed Horn's injuries from the attack, describing the illusionist's wound as "a little punch hole" on the left side of his neck.
Fischbacher said a stroke Horn suffered afterward resulted from blood pressure medication that sometimes made him feel faint.
MGM Mirage officials have said Horn has a long recovery ahead of him, and the duo's long-running show has been closed.
