Creating a magic trick - part 8

The big challenge in creating this particular trick is still the special printing on the cards. The word "middle" needs to be printed on it. I have tried various methods. This includes printing on a printer, having them professionally printed, stick on letters, rub on letters, and various markers.

The only method that produces a useable result is using a Sharpie marker and a template. This is very time intensive. The end result will be higher prices (hiring someone to do the lettering), or limited supply (doing the lettering myself).

Until a better solution is found I will hand letter each card. I will have a prototype to show you soon.
