Laymen have very little interest in actual gambling technique. When someone asks to see some "cheating moves" they want to be entertained. They want something with a beginning, a middle, and an end. You can start showing your chops by doing some false deals, mucks, and stacking- but the end result will be maybe a smile and a nod. This is not a good reaction especially if you want to sell DVDs. There needs to be structure to your demo's, and sometimes a kicker ending.
On the other hand...
There are a few people you run into that actually know what they're talking about and really want to see some of the work. I was called out miserably once by performing Harry Loraynes Poker Deal for a real hustler.
The bottom line is that you need to know your audience, start off with something small and go off their reaction.
P.S. I'm not talking about paid gigs, those are easy to plan out. I'm talking about those impulsive moments where you are on the spot suddenly without any time to prepare.
