As we all learned as student pilots, you can stall an airplane
at any airspeed, and in any attitude.  Demonstration:  slow the
airplane down and begin descending with a nose down attitude.
A good option is full flaps, no power, and 1.2 Vs0 (dirty stall).
You are now suspiciously in a landing configuration.  Gently
bring the nose up to level and watch what happens.  Stall.  If you
are flying an aerobatic airplane, try to stall on the backside of
a loop.  

One thing to remember is not to let the airplane spin if it is not
certified for spins.  If the airplane is in normal category, it has
been tested for a one turn spin.  In aerobatic category, a six turn
spin.  In utility category, either a one turn or six turn spin, depending
on the manufacturer and design.  A rule of thumb is if it is a utility
category or normal category airplane with the one turn spin certification,
begin the recovery RIGHT NOW.  There are horror stories of people who
spun the American Yankee (aka. Grumman AA1 series).

Of course, if you really want to experience a stall, you need to fly
a Funk...
