Hi everyone,

First I'd like to introduce myself so you can get a sense of who I am. My name is Tom Haze, a 23 year old musician from The Netherlands. I perform approximately 3 times a week as a Singer-Songwriter on all sorts of stages (most small or medium-sized). Before I started a career in music I was spending a lot of time on magic (from age 14-19). Back then I focussed on card/close-up-magic, a lot of fun, but when music caught me, I had to make a choice.

I never lost sight of magic however, and now I am sitting on an idea, which I could really use your help with: I would like to add magic to my music, just not as a seperate part of my show, but actually DURING a song. That is however a challenge since my hands are pretty much 'tied' to my guitar. There are of course breaks in a song in which you can quickly reach for something, but time is limited.

I do not have a specific effect in mind yet, it does need to be really visual of course. Stupid example would be me singing: 'Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow', effect: Snow is suddenly falling down. This is however way to corny (and Christmas songs are not on my repertoire) so I am really looking forward to your ideas. I does not have to be grand, I am performing on relatively small stages, and my bank account isn't endless either, so please keep that in mind.

All the help and ideas are much appreciated. Kind regards,

Tom Haze

Try the Dutch School of Magic.
maybe they can help

If you are from holland it's easier for me to start in dutch:

het is inderdaad goed om naar de dutch school of magic te gaan, ger copper kan je heel goed helpen. kijk anders op http://www.goochelaars.com en vraag daar iemand.
ger copper zit daar ook op, en eigenlijk bijna Alle nederlandse goochelaars en illusionisten.
