Don't have anyone else present - demonstrate it to yourself and it'll work every time. There is no way around it - trying to film it also fails. It's a fundamental law of the universe - everything sucks unless you are trying to prove this, in which case nothing does.

Some one once tried to find out why toast always seems to land butter side down, this being an example of Sod's law. They did lots of experiments and found that when the toast fell off the work surface, it started to rotate as it fell. However, because the distance from the floor to the worksurface is only about 1.3 m (ish) there was insufficient time for the toast to fully rotate, and it landed butter side down in a high number of instances, having only managed half a rotation. This is an example of Sod's law actually having a factual basis. Maybe other instances of Sod's Law have a factual basis.

The only way known to demonstrate Sods Law, under Laboratory Conditions, is to isolate the expirement from the rest of the Universe with a minimum 5 meter thick shielding layer of pure unobtainium.
