I need to test my C# code in a SQL Server deadlock scenario. Is there a way to create a deadlock "on demand"?

I have tried this:

Begin Transaction 
Select * from TABLEA with (tablockx, holdlock)
Where 0 = 1
WaitFor Delay '00:02:00'
--Rollback Transaction

But the second connection just waits and until after the Delay, and then does its job.

In the second session I do 

Update TABLEA 
Set LastUpdatedBy = 'IT_TESTING'
Where OrderRefProviderId = 397685
WaitFor Delay '00:00:30'
