Is there a magic trick or a special tool that's needed to remove the copper gasket from the head where the exhaust bolts?

I'm in the processing of cleaning (and more cleaning and more cleaning and more cleaning... ) from 50 years of oil leaks and in the process of partial disassembly for some push rod tube seal replacement, but after removing the head exchangers, I haven't found a reasonable way of removing the copper gaskets from the head. Any helpful experience or out there?

Old flat screwdriver, heat the tip cherry red and bend the tip 90 degrees.
Hook it on the edge of the gasket and pull down.

I have several pry and install tools made from old screwdrivers like this.
