multiphonics you just have to find in your mouth and support.
For some, I can just breath and play relatively normally, and they come out, others I have to blow harder, some I can only make sound very quietly and with a completely miss shapen embouchure. Just play around with them and you'll get it.
Slap tongue, I'm still trying to figure out, but can't get it to work.

P.S. from my own experience, I've noticed that composers tend to have a very bad working knowledge of multiphonics. They get a book which lists figurings and notes, and then write them, often as though they are chords on a piano, with no knowledge of how the individual multiphonics will speak. Sometimes I find pieces with fingerings that don't work (or don't work for me) and other times I find a multiphonic that I can only play ppp written fortissimo with an accent.
Goodluck!
