I like the dead stick on the buddy box Dan-O. While I haven't used that one (yet....) what I always do with a student is wait till they are getting fairly confident. This is usually when I can take off for them, and then give them control and let them fly the entire time without me "needing" to take over. Then all of the sudden, without warning, I take back over the plane and just yank it into an unusual attitude and then give it back and say "fix it". The first time, I do this they are ALWAYS surprised and a little shocked as they think it is something they did or something went wrong. Exactly what I want them to experience. After a few times, they get the hang of it and then I'll do it lower and lower so they get used to saving it at all altitudes.

I'll definately try the deadstick approach as well. Thanks for sharing that.
