    Here is a solution to get magic smoke AND Black hat trick. In Act 2 there will be a mission called Uninvited in which you have to prepare an Ambush for Iraq's men. BEFORE you hack the security terminal to start the countdown until they arrive, plant an IED (not a proximity IED a regular IED) on the tire tracks to the right of the computer (while facing it). The tire tracks will appear as a red square while looking at the ground. Once you plant the IED hide behind the shutter in a spot where you cant be seen, but can still press the button to trigger the IED.
    Once the enemy vehicle is over the IED trigger focus and detonate the IED. This will net you the 2 achievements. If you somehow fail to get it just restart checkpoint. Much easier than doing it on criminal convoy.
    *Note if you are still having trouble with the focus buy all the upgrades for it and/or complete any 10 levels of chess to unlock a focus upgrade.

    *EDIT
    Below is a great guide by Lil Miss Cherry that shows how to get the Magic Smoke and Black Hat Trick achievements.

    While all of the above solutions are wonderful, I would just like to add some simple advice that will make everything a TON easier. Craft as many MEDS as you can. Have them equipped when you're going for the focus kills and when you see your focus running low, tap the RB to refill your bar. With 5 meds, you should easily get this achievement no problem!

    This is how I did it, right or wrong!

    I'd advanced to Act II in the game and had completed numerous side missions in order to get the required skill points for this (It may not take this long - depending on how you play the game).

    Upgrade the following skills (when you have the skill points): -

    Combat > Improved Focus > Slowed Focus.

    Crafted Items > Lure > Focus Boost.

    To craft "Focus Boost" You can either scavenge "Pills" from cars you jack (and other random places, "City Hotspots" - if people are being generous!), or buy them from Pharmacy's.

    Once you have all of the above I recommend doing a "Criminal Convoy" or "Gang Hideout" mission (You should avoid the killing "Takedown" target however!).

    I did this on a Convoy mission - you can block a road off and then wait for enemies to group up.

    Make sure you equip "Focus Boost" to your RB. Once enough (4) enemies are in range, enter "Focus Mode" by clicking the Right Stick - go for head shots, keep track of your "Focus" - if/when it's about to run out press RB to get the "Focus Boost" and just go Rambo!

    Edit: Of course you can do this using explosives (IED, Grenade, Grenade Launcher) or environmental items.
