Peter Reveen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter J. Reveen is a stage hypnotist and illusionist who performs mainly in Canada and particularly Atlantic Canada. Originally from Australia, he came to Canada early in the 1960s where he enjoyed greater success. He does not use his first name professionally; he promotes himself as simply Reveen, "the Impossiblist". He is one of the founding members of the Magic Castle in Los Angeles, CA and in 1987 wrote the book The Superconscious World. In 2000 he won the DRAGON Award, an annual award given to magicians who excel in Drama, Romance, Artistry, Glamour, Originality and Necromancy.[1]
Reveen is currently manager to Las Vegas Illusionist Lance Burton.
Trailer Park Boys' character Ricky is occasionally called "Reveen", much to Ricky's displeasure, due to their shared physical resemblance.[1]
Samples from his self-hypnosis LPs, the best-known of which is entitled Relax with Reveen, feature in some modern Electronic music, such as the Lemon Jelly track Nervous Tension, and Bonobo track Shadowtricks.
