[QUOTE="krazysteve1958, post: 177430, member: 4491"] After hours of trying, I was finally able to get this last wizard goal and even got it up to 6X. The best/easiest way to accomplish it, is to exclusively try for it and nothing else (i.e. no game play). Ideally, you want to start a ball with 2 of the 3 lanes already lit on your second or third ball. Master pulling the plunger so the ball goes through the far right lane and time an upper nudge immediately after the ball goes through. Usually this fails to work, however, it's worth a try. If it does work be prepared to immediately use the flippers to alternate to upper lanes. The hardest part is being able to use the left flipper to consistently shoot the ball back up there. It's the only consistent, make-able shot there is. The shot is very difficult to pull off repeatedly with a time limit working against you. The good news is if you do manage to get it back up there, it typically goes to the far right lane, so make sure it's not lit. For whatever reason, the upper nudge is fairly successful then to send the ball back up, then down again. If you're lucky you can get a couple of multipliers. If you get too aggressive with the nudging, you'll trigger the "danger, danger" and poof, your back at zero X. Attempting the shot with the left flipper without holding/trapping is daunting and usually ends with either a miss and time running out or the ball landing into the trap door. You can pass the ball from the right to the left flipper safely by trapping, releasing and waiting a half second then hitting the ball, or waiting until the ball rolls to the tip of the right flipper and lightly tapping it across horizontally.
