You could try giving Presto Printo a go as thgis starts off with what is seen as 9 blank cards.
I performed this tonight when table hopping at a gig and the specs were fried with them asking each other "the cards were blank weren't they"? Top top the trick off, one of the tables had some spilt beer and on each table was a photocopied photo of the person who's birthday it was.
I put this paper over the beer and put the cards on top of the paper. What I hadn't noticed but one of the specs did at then end of the routine, was that there were some black marks made by the photocopier but they looked just like ink which made everyone really believe that the ink was from the copied cards.
I couldn't have planned this better but it just made everything more believeable.

It's not really an optical illusion - it just looks like one!
