Do any retailers carry these? I want to be able to go through slides while playing an instrument. Creative suggestions welcomed :)

There is such a thing - a foot pedal that does mouse functions.

Foot

All you need for Powerpoint is a left click function.

What about just using and old USB keyboard and rigging it up so that you can hit the spacebar with your foot? (Maybe take the other buttons off the keyboard, etc.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse that I can use, but the problem is I can only advance slides and not rewind.

Try setting the Powerpoint to loop. Then you don't need to rewind or start over. Just stop on the last slide and you'll be good to go again.
