I believe that the combined classes are classes where you need to perform in both of the styles which are included in the class. Artistic performance is something fun. Here the ability to entertain matters more than skill. John Higby won the 2008 AP contest:

AP is basically more of a show than a series of tricks. It may tell a story, or use a cool prop. Really, just being creative.
