Rafael Benatar: I have never been able to attend your lectures, but I have heard many things about you, all good of course. I play many instruments, and I have found that this has helped with dexterity, coordination, timing, and discipline. Has your playing music helped you with these? also, have you ever intigrated these two arts?

Yes, dexterity, coordination, timing, and discipline, all helps. Some I have mentioned already in another tthread. As to combining the two, I haven't actually done it , but tthat doesn't mean I wouldn't. What I have done, in informal gatherings among friends is to combine them but not simultaneously. I mean a performance of both things in the same session, and I think it helps framing magic as an art form, but it should be possible to do it with magic alone with the right approach.
