As noted - Sucking air from around the hose at the bleeder is normal with the hand held mityvac.
For $20-ish you can buy bleeders with one way check valves. Once you loosen them a bit, they will allow you to use the foot pedal method solo.
Rambling on here: One of the downsides to the pressure bleeder and gravity methods is the lack of brute force applied relative to the foot method. The downside is time - NOT QUALITY - of the bleed in the brake lines. With your foot you can squirt brake fluid across the garage and given enough fluid refilling the MC as you pump, you could probably get the air out of the MC. I am pretty sure the other methods will not agitate the air enough to force it to leave the MC.
