I made a how-to video of me making a belgian witbier from Midwest supplies. Check it out on my page (just click my name and look at my videos). Peace!
What I've always done is filled my tubing with sanitizer, which provides the gravity needed to suck up your beer. Once you lower your tubing, the sanitizer will drain out (into a separate bowl) and bring the beer up as well. Once it starts flowing purely beer I'll pinch the tube closed, transfer the tube into my secondary vessel, and let it go.
I have bought stuff from Midwest and I like that he includes a video with his products and that some of it is online but show us how to do something already. All of his video is talk he never even brews beer in the video. To me this kind of defeats a how-to video.
Honestly, I used to use an auto-siphon, but after numerous times, having the siphon stall, I bought a carboy cap. It's simply the easiest and quickest way to start a siphon.
Put a stainless racking cane through the center hole, sanitize the whole thing, insert into the hold of the carboy and seal, then blow in the other hole. Done.
@godspunk32 I do something similar with stoppers and a racking cane. 2 stoppers with 2 holes in them. I use 4 liter jugs, so I cut my racking cane in half. Top half of racking with cap goes in top bottle. Bottom half of racking cane is in stopper on lower bottle. In the other hole on the stopper I have a tiny section of racking cane with tubing. Suck on that small section of tubbing to create a vacuum to get the siphon going. This is easy enough to do with carboy caps and 2 racking canes.

I usually finish the siphon with my hand. She uses her mouth to syphon. Shes the Bomb.!!
