The bigger the toes you step on the more likely someone will come after you!
It is all about the money. DOS attack a small time server or hi-jack a few hundred home PC's and nobody really cares. Cost someone big money and that is a different matter entirely.
Especially if they decide to make an example of you, you could get really screwed. And don't delude yourself into thinking that they will reward you with a big time security job. The days of Mr. Mitnick are gone.
Especially in todays world, if they want you bad enough they can get you, even in the a run down hotel in the Philippines.
If you must demonstrate your skills create your stuff and drop it into a chat-room somewhere so some other fool set it off.
I realize this will probably have no effect at all but it is worth a try.
