A traveling magician,
Bernier is credited as the inspiration for the career of a young Eugene
Laurant in Denver Colorado in the 1880s. Bernier shared the
secrets of handcuff escapes with the young boy, as well as a number
of other clever stage tricks. When Bernier left Denver with an
acting troupe, he sold his trunk of effects to Laurant, who then
went onstage as "Eugene, the Boy Magician".
