Interesting topic:

First I'd say the most important thing is to do moves you feel really comfortable with. Less drops the better (goes without saying).

These are the moves I find get the best reactions:

double atw.
barfly
whirr
dlo
consecutive whirls - like 4+
ducking/diving clipper
spinning clipper/osis
ps whirl
pdx torque.
shuffle combos
Juggling

But basically when I do my demos - I usually start off with some easy tiltless - mirages, clippers, legovers and pickups (and same side varients -ie atw and pixies etc.) and even that really impresses people - and then I slowly build getting harder and harder into some shuffle into a few a big moves - finish. The things people actually tell me they liked the most are juggling, the spinning thing (spinning clipper) and "when it goes over your head (ducking/diving clipper) but they tend to applaude all the things mentioned.

Multiple symp whirls and DATW's usually gets the biggest reactions for me.

Amateurs practice until they can get it right.
Professionals practice until they can't get it wrong.

No, I don't play soccer. Yes, there are competitions. 4 years. Lots of practice.

consecutives are good because it lets the crowd the time to understand what you're doing. Consec osis is a good example.

I'd add swirls to your list.
