Siegfried and Roy took their final curtain call in Las Vegas on Saturday -- with the white tiger that almost killed Roy in 2003. The two did just one trick in a charity show: Siegfried stood in a cage, which Roy covered with a drape; Roy then removed the cover to reveal a tiger in Siegfried's place. Their manager later confirmed it was Montecore -- the cat that attacked and partly paralyzed Roy. The two have always maintained the tiger was trying to protect, not harm, the illusionist when he was dragged offstage. The performance will air Friday on ABC's "20/20."
