Any other suggestions for a possible "wow" reaction from an audience like

two simple demos:
The first one is a simple client server thingy on the LAN.
I have seen hardened people do a double take
when they see how little code it takes to set up a server
and a client.
Excellent. for number 1.5, I suggest adding a feature to the client
after you get it working, and show how little you had to change,
and how quickly the new feature is working.
I'd shrink recapitulating the tutorial, 1 hour is a very short time.
Perhaps a "strange variable model," huge integers, defining a function,
class, using modules, what "global" does and means (if you have time)
and a hand-wave about types.
