The older, original version of the effect used non-bicycle cards, so this might be the reason - just cheaper cards. My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her.

Abit strange as the cards look and feel like normal bikes. Very frustrating as I'm trying to work on a version of DB's excellent 'Smoke' - so ribbon-spreading the cards is essential.

Use a touch of fanning powder and you will be amazed at how evenly they spread afterwards. A deck that I like is card sharks medieval deck (I can't remember its actual name). They don't fan well at all. After some fanning powder they spread better than any other deck I use. Steven Keyl - The Human Whisperer! B2B Magazine Test! Best impromptu progressive Ace Assembly ever!

Magicman29 - just purchased another MPD and had the same problem again with all the cards clumping together when ribbon spreading them....so I used some fanning powder (as Steven suggested) on them and now they spread fine. A little annoying - but at least there's a solution! "You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star" - Nietzsche
