In theory you should be able to play at minimum 10 hands at minimum bet or you won't have the cash flow to survive this method. It's worked very well for me in the past.. I still play blackjack quite often and do pretty well. I've only not done well when playing with people who do not understand these simple rules and odds.

That was kinda my approach to start.
I played the first hour with minimum $10.00 bet. Then hit blackjack a few times, and was up around $150.00 playing my way (before all the advice). I then upped by bets to $20.00 per hand, and played like that for an hour or so. Every time I would win, regardless of winnings, I would pull the extra off, and do the same $20.00 bet. I did this until I was up $350.00 (taking out my $100.00 initial investment).
Then I did some experimental betting in my 3rd hour. Listened to more of the advise, and would do some double down, and whatever else as we played along. This was mixed results as I was knocked back to being
up maybe $100-150.00.
I would lose a few hands, typically when I was getting hit with these 2/3/4/5 repeatedly. Then once they reshuffled the deck and the paints started again, I upped the bets back to $30-40 per hand. I made back my lost cash until I was back up $200+. Then smokey and used car salesmen showed up and I took off.
Still, was fun and make a couple of hundred bucks. Not too shabby.
