Lots of the old books refer to marking your handout cards with pencil dots, or some such thing. I'm sure someone else has come up with this idea before, but I've come up with a card design that incorporates pre-printed dots that I think looks unassuming and is less likely to be noticed than pencil dots.

Take a look, and let me know what you think.

I like the idea but I think it is a little too obvious. Maybe a little more subtlety in the design.

Yeah, the pattern does look obvious but then again, how many spectators are going to compare two different cards side by side? If the answer is almost never, these are great. It's whatever works for you. I would be more subtle but I tend to overthink and overprepare everything, lol.

Having said that, there are lots of ideas on how to do this and I like some of the ideas by Maven and Larry Becker.
