This is a really simple way to demonstrate the effect. The deal will still seem rigged even if you are in control of it and rationally know that it isn't.
I would slightly alter the method though...
Deal out the hands, pause, and look at who has a decent hand pre-flop.
Deal out the flop, pause, and look at who flopped well.
Deal out the turn and river, pause, and look at who's winning at the end.
If you want to be scientific about it, note which hand is the winner pre-flop, flop, and river, and repeat some (say 100) times. You will then see that the winning hand pre-flop, post-flop, and post-river are
very often different.
This takes less than an hour to do, because you don't have to wait for betting, etc.
