Hey, to practice the spread, is it suppose to hurt like mad? Cause my hand is hurting so much i can cry.

And is it easier to spread with new cards or old cards? Cause i am using old card and it's not spreading very well, but i imagine new cards to be very hard and hard to bend.. So how?

Old cards will tend to stick together and may not provide enough "spring" for you to perform this spread.

Working with new cards is a better idea, although you may need to season the cards a little first. With newer cards, you may not be required to bend the cards so much, just a slight bend should do.
