Depends on the rate of power exchange from UK to USA, the type of wand core (unicorn hair, phoenix feather, etc.) and spell used. To illustrate: Muggles have to use special boxes for their electronic equipment when they go to the U.S. from the U.K, otherwise their instruments will short out. Keeping this in mind, a U.K. wand may have a different impact from a U.S. wand and the effects may be different and therefore, undetectable.
Muggles have an engaging habit of disregarding what they believe to be improbable or unlikely and therefore, may not notice. However, since Magic Enforcement Official Wizards (M.E.O.W.) in the United States have no sense of humour, it would be best to dissapate after any magical transaction.

Despite the Patriot Act, the national magic detection system (NMDS) is not as well developed as it is in Britain. Chances are your magic will go unnotice.
What bothers me about the British system is that they seem to be able to detect and identify when an underaged wizard uses magic, can detect the presence of a muggle at the scene, but they cannot detect the presence of dementors, who seem to emit a powerful magic signature.
Do dementors have stealth technology?

The only muggle I know of in the US is George Bush. I am sure the good citizens will be delighted with you for making him disappear.
Then I think you may be taken off to some obscure secure unit and sedated heavily for the rest of your holiday.

not only will your wand be taken away but you will be taken to our azkhaban...aka Gitmo. Instead of dementers, you will be surrounded by bush-menters, far worse then the kind your used to. There you will have the honor of being declared an "enemy wizard" where all your wizard rights, dignity and legal rights will be taken away by voldermort..err Dubya Bush. You will sit in your mundane cell for the rest of your life. you will just disappear, sorta like u apparated. your family, friends and everyone else will never hear from you again.
so, my advice is to just keep your wand tucked in where it belongs.

If you try that in Los Angeles, you'll wake up without your wand and your shoes.

Don't worry 'bout it 'cause in Britain there's more wizard than America that's why they don't have a perform detecting wizard's system
