Is there a trick to pollinating stubborn hippeastrums

My Mandonii is in flower and I do not have another or know of anyone else around with one in flower. I have been told they do not self pollinate and require another clone. However I have also been told to polinate it twice a day until the flower dies out.
I have also been told to cut the stigma off as this could be the reason why they do not take the pollen. After cut immediately place the pollen on the reduce style of the flower.
Any ideas?
