Peter Reveen

Peter Reveen

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.

Reveen is currently manager to Las Vegas Illusionist Lance Burton.

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".

Cultural references

"Trailer Park Boys"' character Ricky is occasionally called "Reveen", much to Ricky's displeasure, due to their shared physical resemblance. [http://www.showcase.ca/microsites/trailerparkboys/residents/julian.aspx]

Raveen appears to be the basis for a Saturday Night Live parody commercial about a hypnotist who gets audience members exiting the theater to robotically drone "It was much better than Cats, I would see it again and again" to a reporter.
