Message: <blockquote data-quote="skippycue" data-source="post: 283179" data-attributes="member: 3125">This is most likely the hardest wizard goal from all the tables in season 7!  Shooting skill shots on this table is very tricky and there doesn't seem to be a lot of plunger consistency.  This wizard goal is awarded for shooting 4 skill shots in one game!  Fortunately, any relaunch of the ball (e.g., due to multiball) allows you to earn a skill shot so you can have lots of chances if you can keep the ball in play.So my general strategy was to restart until I started with a skill shot (duh), and then use the right ramp to light all the racers for the first multiball (only works the first time).  This would not only light the racers, but also light extra ball after 8 laps.  After collecting the extra ball I'd shoot the Banzai Hill saucer to beat all the racers in the upper playfield, and then again to lock the ball for multiball.  Locking a ball of course gives you another chance at a skill shot.  When multiball starts I try to catch a ball on the left flipper and then let the other ball drain.  This immediately starts a 20 second timer allowing you to hit the Right saucer for a multiball restart.  This gives you yet another chance at a skill shot.  You can see in the video that I made my last two skill shots in a row by locking a ball and then doing the instant restart.  What you can't see in the video is the rest of my strategy because I didn't need it in this run.  There is a cool little glitch on the table during multiball.  If you shoot both balls in the Right saucer they get stuck (at least until the 25 second timer runs out, not sure about that part).  You can immediately call the attendant and the ball will be reset after 15 seconds.  I did not verify you can make a skill shot from a ball reset, but it seems like you should be able to.  At any rate, if you can keep shooting both balls into the Right saucer then you can theoretically have infinite attempts at the skill shot.  Maybe someone can verify a skill shot can be made from a ball reset...At any rate, after the first multiball, my basic strategy was to restart multiball with controlled shots at the yellow targets, then shots at the green rollovers, then direct shots at the red/blue targets or shots to the Right saucer to spot targets.  Rinse and repeat until you get your 4th Cycle Stunt... easier said than done![MEDIA=youtube]rkiIgP7XQjc[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
