Hmm...that's odd. Getting the hang of it takes time, but usually results become more reliable after a while.
I've never had any problems with blinds in the Keys, but you might be running into one now. Try changing some of the ritual. I don't know what you'd change, as I don't know exactly what you're doing, but tweak it a bit each time and see what happens. Also, you might command the entity to 'make his presence known with signs and wonders,' or words to that effect. It works for me. . Also, try evoking into a mirror or crystal placed inside the triangle, instead of trying to get it to make a 'body' out of your incense smoke. I'm crappy at scrying, so this approach doesn't work for me personally, but I've heard of people getting fabulous results with it. You can make your own if you wish by having some sheet glass cut to the size you need, then coating one side with a thick layer of black paint so it forms a semi-reflective surface. That may help you too.
Beyond that I really don't know what to tell you, other than to simply deconstruct what you're doing, choose an aspect to change, and then run the 'experiment' again.
