If you are asked to give a demo in some MA event, but you don't want to demo forms. What will you demo? Do you think to demo "combo drills" may be one option?

Any suggestion?

Chin Na always makes a good demo piece.
Weird classical weapons that people are not familiar with are big deal for viewers (Kwan Do, hook swords, triple section staff, whip chain etc.)
Lion Dance open and close with a tricky Choi Chang, maybe a really up high one.
Attack/Defend drills.
Light spar, full flavour demo.
And of course, you can't go wrong with a few parlour tricks and feats of strength!
Kung Fu is good for you.

if you are solo, i think people like to see either forms, or breaking things with loud yelling. if you are solo and dont want to do forms, it becomes less options.
I think a good demo solo would also be weapons feats. such as cutting, or spearing/bowshooting accuracy, etc.
in your case if you have partner throwing i think is a great demo.
For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
Always have a team, because it is better to play with a team than with yourself
That's what you need to ask yourself.
What can you do that 99.999% of the people in the room can't?
Inviting audience members into demonstrations can be fun so long as you aren't using them as dummies to toss about.
I have noticed that when you ask people to follow along with you, they compete amongst themselves and have fun that way, so leading a drill or series of drills that gets the audience interested in doing it can be fun.
Also, feats of strength, feats of physics and maybe some breaking. These are interesting to see.
Acrobatics are always a draw. Tumbling. That sort of thing.
What ever you do, don't start gyrating and thrusting your hips at people. That never works out well.
Kung Fu is good for you.
