Simple trick: come up with "random" numbers, from your own head. Make a list of them. They're not random, but part of the charm here is noticing that even you're affected by Benford's Law.
Now, pair them off, in order, and write down the products: you'll notice a large amount start with 1!
(of course you'll actively avoid this if you're expecting it)
