Some information from Alistair Maskelyne, son of Jasper Maskelyne, who used to do an act with Bux: http://www.maskelynemagic.com/Resources/AFTER%20THE%20WAR.pdf

Kuda Bux was a tall Sikh with a large hooked nose. This played a prominent part in his act, which had school children from the audience blindfolding him, with lumps of dough and many bandages, after which he would read words the kids wrote with chalk on a blackboard. His nose was the secret: he would rock the mass of bandages so that a tiny channel was left down one side of his nose, and with his head held high he could see after a fashion.
