reveen.jpgThe man they call REVEEN! Reveen the “Impossibilist” toured Canada and the United States in the ’70s, exposing the power of a full beard and a red-shirt-covered pot belly to mildly amused audiences. He was last spotted (by me, on YouTube) in 1987, promoting his upcoming appearance at Saint John High School. He also was the 2000 recipient of the DRAGON Award, an annual award “given to magicians who excel in Drama, Romance, Artistry, Glamour, Originality, and Necromancy.” [Wikipedia]

Tropicana!

Enjoy—and I use that with the most delicate touch—some extremely poor quality videos of the man, the mystery, the magic, after… the jump! Poof!

(Why did I start looking for Raveen? Because people occasionally insult Ricky on Trailer Park Boys by calling him “Reveen.”)

    I am trying to find a way to contact Reveen. Any idea of how to reach him?

    My grandfather was a pro magician and in his old papers I found an ad for a guy called “Gene Delfont” that looks a LOT like Raveen. I wonder if that was his real name… anyway, if it is, and you’re family of Mr Delfont and would like a copy, email me.

    I live in New Brunswick Canada. Reveen has family that live in a small town about 25 mins from here. They have the same last name Reveen. This doesn’t mean that he didn’t change it at some point but, since it is used as thier last name openly I thought that it might be real. Unless they all changed for the greater good….LOL
