I think the Ultra-Fab Phoenix # UF38-944055 is going to be your best option. It uses a ball bearing type of system rather than a screw and nut design like most jacks. These means less friction and thus less noise. It also comes with a wireless remote key fob that would probably work better than a foot pedal would and is easier to conceal. It will also give you a little more flexibility as to how the illusion is done since there would not have to be a cable and switch attached to the jack. I have included a link to a video review of this jack.
