A practising magician who worked for Hamley's from 1911 to 1915 as manager of their Conjuring Department, or as they preferred their Magical Palace. He derived his stage name from his employer's name.
Under that name of Yelma, Lewis wrote Tricks of To-Day, which he described as "a compilation of new effects most of which have been introduced during the past few months". It was published by Messrs Hamley Bros. in 1914.
Lewis was also the London correspondant for The Sphinx.
He later performed as Fred Karene.
