At 1:02, when fixing David's arm, he places the other ball there. Alesha sees that and isn't impressed. At 1:29, you can see both the green and red balls are already in the hand passing them to David's and that Keiichi's other hand is empty. At 1:38, before the camera cuts, you can tell he's grabbing the 10 balls from the bag and is ready to place them into David's hand. At 5:14 you can tell the egg is still in Keiichi's hand and that he placed it in the handkerchief straight afterwards. As you've already seen, at 5:30, he takes the bottle from his bag and places it in the handkerchief.
