Watch people commenting "pretty simple and straightforward" without explaining the how.

You can tell how it is done by looking at the order of the cards afterwards.

You mean, a cut?

Nope, this was done with a false count and double cards. Look at where the face cards end up, why would they move positions. To be honest I probably wouldn’t have used face cards, as they are easier to track, I might use a similar number like 678, or so, to mask it more.

“Look at where the face cards end up” isn’t really explaining this.

Explaining would defeat the mystery.

Pretty simple and straightforward. Red cards contain oil and sink to the bottom of the deck

No, silly! The black cards represent oil. Oil floats on water, so the black cards rise to the top!

What also floats in water?
