Siegfried and Roy. Lido de Paris. 1968

Siegfried and Roy's first French TV appearance in 1968. For 80 years old of Maurice Chevalier in Lido de Paris. Of my personal collection.

[@AnnHattieAnn]

From 1968-1971 my mom was the hairdresser for the Lido show at the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas. As a teen and eldest (of her 5), back in those days I was privileged not only to visit her at her workplace (backstage), but was allowed to stand, concealed in the wings, and watch these two fabulous performers (literally) "work their magic." It's something I'll never forget. History in the making. And I was right there. An happily starstruck, wide-eyed little "fly on the wall." Peace, AHA ♥

[@bibianaguadalupeislasherre9880]

That's an amazing story, this was 1 year after their debut at the Tropicana hotel in 1967 and this video is from 1968 this was their first appearance on french television. Siegfried was 28 years old and Roy was 24 years old.

[@KydenBufect]

That's a cool story. My earliest memory of Siegfried and Roy was them at the old Stardust Hotel, when they were just one of the novelty acts of the Lido de Paris. '70 or '71.

I literally have tears in my eyes....beautiful men...became I fan of them back in November of 1994....I wonder if they know just how much they've affected people?

[@WORLDOFELLUSIONIST]

Thanks for posting ~ these legends videos are PRICELESS!

[@bibianaguadalupeislasherre9880]

It's one of my favorite videos from them, this was their first TV appearance in France in 1968, Siegfried was 28 years old and Roy was 24 years old.

[@bibianaguadalupeislasherre9880]

In memory of: Siegfried Fischbacher (June 13, 1939 - January 13, 2021) Roy Horn (Octuber 3, 1944 - May 8, 2020)

[@shalawndillon4525]

Wow! S&R was one of my favorite magicians since their first TV special in 1980. David Copperfield, David Blaine, Penn & Teller and Lance Burton is not to far behind. They're the best. Rest in Paradise, S&R.

[@karmacomedia6335]

Best magic trick I have ever seen with the handcuffs an trunk etc.. fantastic

[@viertouchdownsineinemspiel]

Gott hab sie selig. Zwei ganz Große aus unserer früher mal schönen Heimat. ❤🇩🇪

[@steelerztigurz8397]

WOW! Siegfried & Roy were, are, and always will be the best ! .... If you would be so kind as to please post more, I'd truly appreciate it! SARMOTI !

[@bibianaguadalupeislasherre9880]

In this video, Siegfried and Roy were so handsome and gorgeous when they were young.

[@clausstimpfig3803]

beautiful couple

[@aprylreigns8666]

PS: I'm just pointing this out (and it's only an opinion and not fact) Not only was Siegfried very handsome...he really was an EXCELLENT magician without Roy

[@ak7ant]

Yes, Siegfried is the magician. Roy wasin charge of all the animals. :-)

[@bibianaguadalupeislasherre9880]

@@ak7ant According to an interview with Lynette Chapell, their personal manager and who played the evil queen in their shows at the Mirage said that Siegfried by himself wouldn't be enough and Roy on his own would be too much.

[@VampireBat-q1t]

I ♥ Siegfried and Roy :) and of course I also like their... euh... "assistant", Chico the cheetah... never thought I'd find a video with him in it :)

[@maragetwhite8001]

I love this video I think it was close to the time when they met on the cruise ship and begun performing together though they are both gone now I missed them so much I wish I got a chance to see them in person or at least be able to talk to them and tell them how wonderful they are but I know that they were there for each other right at the end both are in heaven with some of their exotic pets that have passed before them every time I see one of their videos it amazes me more on how these two handsome gentlemen from Germany perform Magic don't know how it works don't really want to know maybe that's part of the magic seeing it done and not knowing how it works just that it does rest in peace Siegfried and Roy

[@LisaListaLiz]

Ruhet in Frieden, Ihr beide. Ihr wart großartig! Ihr habt Euer Leben zusammen gelebt.

[@SLYGARR]

Thank you for posting. I have been looking for footage of their dove act for years. This was even better.

[@maxLeifermann]

Simple but very, very effective; two masters of the craft...

[@magicnor]

Merci Mr Dominique pour tous ces trésors!

[@sunnyvegas2778]

[@PatrickWaltrick]

Fabulous ! Un vrai bijou ;-)

[@boxtym]

very nice, thanks for posting

[@carollido8742]

It's time that we get the truth about them out and the tigers- thank you for this

[@ADAMSIXTIES]

4:30 The trunk switch is so obvious when they have that thing under the trunk, i.e. a space under the stage to switch. The pigeon thing was good though.

[@dante4591]

Balèze...Impressionnant de les voir tout jeune et en France!

[@ILoveMorrissey]

RIP Roy

[@VAGCOMM]

Wow!)

[@werdna9006]

Classic tricks with a personal touch presented excellently. The crowd was awful though. No appreciation.

[@lynnevecchitto7584]

Yes they were awful..

[@Fetch799]

I so wanted the bird cage to transform into a Cheetah under the cloth. Still this is really really something!

[@VampireBat-q1t]

Oh, I've just seen that their second cheetah is also in it... that makes it even better :)

[@alec4010]

I didn't know Siegfried smoked

[@BuckyBrown-lt4ry]

They should have stuck with the magic and not introduced the animals.

[@atlas79-om1hn]

Thank you

[@PatWardMagic]

Thanks!!!

[@deancoronado4898]

Snazzy version of Girl from Ipanema!

[@VictorBarroco]

Does anyone know where this video was originally broadcast?

[@bibianaguadalupeislasherre9880]

It was in 1968, 1 year after their debut at the Tropicana hotel in Las Vegas.

[@klibahn29]

This is not at the Lido de Paris

[@bibianaguadalupeislasherre9880]

This was their first appearance on the french television in 1986, after they made their debut in Las Vegas.

[@eadecamp]

Sorry Siegfried, that ducktail just isn't you.

First 2:36 is complete theft from Channing Pollock's legendary routine...

[@seanrader7341]

+Thüryn Mitchell it is an avalible trick

[@guy8646]

Magicians sell their tricks to other magicians.

[@cartonclini5656]
