Hitting pre-determined on-stage chalk marks is a challenge, but there are some tricks you can use. First, conciously work on your peripheral vision. Practice seeing those floor marks out of the corner (well, bottom, really) of your eye so that you can find them without looking directly at them.

Next, see if you can include a natural-looking downward glance in your performance to really nail that mark. Done with finesse, no one will ever suspect its true purpose.
