LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Animal trainer and illusionist Roy Horn was recovering Tuesday at his home in Las Vegas, Nevada, his manager said.

Part of the famous duo Siegfried & Roy, Horn had been hospitalized for more than two months after he was mauled on stage by a tiger during a show with his partner Siegfried Fischbacher.

Horn, 59, almost died after a male white tiger grabbed him by the neck and dragged him off stage during a performance at the Las Vegas Mirage resort on October 3. He was moved to the University of California, Los Angeles hospital two months ago, manager Bernie Yuman said in a statement. Horn is able to communicate by writing notes, a spokesman said, but no other details of the extent of his recovery were available. Horn, the darker-haired member of Siegfried & Roy, was born in Nordenham, Germany on October 3, 1944. Combining magic with tiger stunts, the team has performed on the Las Vegas strip for nearly 30 years
