Dr. Nix (c. 1847 - ?) was born Paul Lemare.[1]
As a youth Nix performed as "The Boy Conjurer" and for a time was associated with John Henry Anderson. Later, Nix became a well-known private and public performer in England. By 1888 he was billed as "The Royal Conjuror" and "The Man of a Thousand Tricks."[2]
Later in his career he gave public shows by talking during a film of his performances. Apparently he would repeat the program showing how each trick was done.[3]
