I did not know much about Peter Reveen's life and career. Though I do know that, over many years) he was a major influence for many aspiring magicians, mentalists and hypnotists, and that he was a showman's showman.
His audiences seem to have always been duly impressed by his magnificent shows --keeping strong memories, for the rest of their lives, about their very own experience witnessing and sometimes even being part of his show. They may not always have remembered his name (ie. 10 and 20 years later), but once they described him as a performer (his towering and colorful persona) and the powerful effects he performed, those involved in the art of performance knew that it was, in fact, Reveen ("The Impossiblist", also known as "The Gentleman of Conscience") that they were describing. No doubt, there are several fellow Café members reading this initial post that will have some strong positive memories and anecdotes of their own to share, to pay tribute to the one and the only, Reveen... http://reveen.com http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunsw......bit.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjJ8toWC89E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhi-evAV5CU

He was incredibly well known, I was amazed to see that word of his death was posted on some of the music forums I use, people were talking about seeing his Canadian tours etc.
