Powercard API - Can't get vfx working

Hi, I've pretty new to roll20 and very new to the APIs. I've been following Nick Olivo's youtube videos and learning a lot. In particular I'm trying to setup a new spell cast ability that rolls attack, damage, and plays both a sound effect and visual effect. I've copied Nick's example but I cannot get the vfx command to show anything.  Any advice? Here's my version... The attack roll, check against AC, damage, and sound effect all work as expected.  The vfx line gives me nothing. Help! !power {{  --name|Eldritch Blast  --leftsub|Ranged Spell Attack  --rightsub|120 ft Range  --Attack:|[[ [$Atk] 1d20 + @{spell_attack_bonus} ]] vs AC @{target|AC}  --?? $Atk >= @{target|AC} ?? Damage:|[[ [$Dmg] 1d10 ]]  --soundfx|_audio,play,nomenu|EldritchBlast-sfx  --vfx_opt|@{selected|token_id} @{target|token_id} beam-frost }} cheers Phil

Visual Effects only play on the page the player ribbon is on.

Thanks Kurt, FIXED!!!!! I had to pause for a moment and quickly realised that I was working on a scratch map page. I flipped over to the page marked with the player ribbon and magically everything is working.  I wish I'd asked 2 hours ago, I've been banging my head off the proverbial wall wrestling with this :-) Cheers Phil
