What were some of these tricks?

Mostly good for just the first bend on the end of a pipe...

You can usually gain 1/2 to 3/4 inch by starting with the conduit
farther back, not flush with the end of the bender. Also, you can make
the bend and then hacksaw off some of the end. Helps to have
the fitting you're going to use handy for testing. Use pliers to
reshape the end, remove some of the oval created by bending. Sometimes
that gain, maybe an inch or so was helpful to get something to fit in a
tight spot.

What Lloyd said if your not at an end. I would give your new hickey a
try, see what you can do after making a standard bend. Would love to
have tried that back in the day
