    Easier way. Just step back suddenly accidentally stepping on the surfer. Then apologize profusely. Very low tech but works.

    The real threat is from a hidden camera behind you. This a really cool idea because the camera would always see a normal keypad but the user would see the numbers in random order. The camera sees 1473 but you entered 4729.
