description: "Félicien Trewey, was a French magician, mime, comedian, vaudevillian, tightrope walker, balance artist, dancer, musician, chapeaugraphist and shadowgraphist. His principal entertainment was balancing tricks, of which he was a grand master. He was a great card-thrower, scaling cards at great distances. He gave musical entertainment with instruments of his own invention. He had great skill in the uncommon art of writing any words selected by his audience backwards and was an exceptional lightning sketch artist. King Edward VII saw Trewey perform on many occasions, and the Emperor of Austria, Baron Rothschild and many others invited him to perform for them. He also played in several films directed by his good friend Louis Lumière, including Chapeaux a Transformation (1896), Le Photographe (1895), Danseuses des rues (1896), Écriture à l'envers (1896), and Partie de cartes (1895)."
