It works for me. Check that you press the right keys and look for the question mark.
Oh and it doesn't work on demo version.
Hope that helps.

how do you get a wizard staff?

how do you enter a cheat?

Okay when people say that you press Ctrl-Shift-~ they mean press them all at the same time
that might be your problem. Or you are supposed to press ctrl shift and `.
