In my experience (I gave a demo as part of a talk today! It went great!), you want your code to be reliable (obviously... a 1 in 5 failure rate will bite you back on demo day), require as little thinking as possible (that can be worked around with increased automation, but if you automate all the things, you might as well be showing a recording), and rehearse things extensively (this applies to every part of a talk anyway).
