When I was a kid i grew up on a small farm, and we used to blow a conch shell to let everyone know it was meal time.

Is there a trick to it? I remember trying once as a kid and getting basically nothing.

It has been a while since I did it regularly, but from what I remember you blow raspberries, without sticking out your tongue. There was a bit of getting your lips in the proper form.

I used to practice after school while everyone was at work, sometimes I would sit on the living room couch watching after school cartoons and practice the conch during commercials.

Does this pleasure the raspberries?

No. The raspberries want you to stick your tongue out while you blow them.
