I use this from time to time to completely flush out my brakes:
Amazon.com: Mityvac 6830 Brake Bleeder: Automotive
That said, I use this as well and it does just fine. Just try and hang it above the cylinder or caliper so air is not drawn back into the line:

Old school:
Before I got the Mityvac bleeder, I'd have my helper help me, using a 2x4 or stack of books to prevent them from pressing the pedal too far/low. Pump pedal softly 2-3 times, then press pedal down, then open bleeder valve, then close bleeder valve, then release pedal. Repeat until no more bubbles come out of the line. Never let off the pedal w/the bleeder valve open, it will suck air back into the system.
Two keys to bleeding brakes:
1. Never let the MC go dry.
2. Try and never draw air into the system.
