Jay Rosen is my favorite author on the subject:
Jeff Jarvis is nothing to shake a stick at either:
And finally, we can't forget Clay Shirky:

Not sure if the intent is for your client to drop your product slides into a larger presentation, or if you’re intending to build the complete presentation for your client...either way, you may find it useful to incorporate storytelling techniques to amp up viewer engagement. I’ve found the following books very good:
Resonate, by Nancy Duarte
Storynomics, by Robert McKee and Tom Gerace
Good luck!
Nancy Duarte's book also has an insightful breakdown of Jobs' original iPhone pitch.
The best practice is absolutely to do it. Industry association conferences can be a good way to get some practice.
To answer the question, I really like Resonate by Nancy Duarte for speaking engagements and How to Talk to Anyone by Leil Lowndes for one-on-one communications.
Sure, the new iWork suite has removed quite a few features that was otherwise available in the old version. But it might only be temporarily.
The new version is rewritten to revisit and enhance the suite of tools going forward, but it has made it necessary for Apple to not include all features at first launch. That's why the old version was not overwritten when the new version first launched and presented as an update in the App Store.
Much wanted features like Apple Script support was only recently reintroduced, and details like the one you mention here might also come in a later update.
Until then, consider using the old Keynote(it still works on Mavericks) if you can't do without this feature. Personally I do not fancy these "bullet reveals" during presentations and would encourage you to try out some new styles of presentation to keep an interest in the lecture. The best lectures are usually built on a solid written and rehearsed and slides that are build to enhance it even further.
Some book recommendations to that end:
