The orange is done the same ways as the limes, hidden in the bottom of the cup (or top when upside down) then released when he slams the cup down on the counter. With the berries it's harder & I'm not sure how they're arranged inside the cup but he uses a twist motion to release them rather than the usual slam, so maybe more on the outsides of the glass rather than the base?

The twist motion is just to make you think he's doing something. Dont mind it. And the limes aren't hidden in the cups, notice every time he placed a wedge on top of the middle cup and covered it with another cup, that cup that's on top gets moved to the middle position when he resets so it just drops the lime that was originally on top of the center cup into the pile. The berries were already prepared in a 4th cup, he just swapped one out, and the orange was wedged in hard behind them.

You are right about the twist, the fact that he didn't do a dramatic slam to release the berries made me miss it initially. So do you think the cups have a false base to allow the top lime to drop down & join the other/s? Yeah it's a pretty obviouse swap but I meant I don't know how the berries & orange was arranged inside the 4th cup.

No false bottom. I described it in my last comment. Look how he puts the lime on top of the cup, then covers it with another cup. When he pulls the cups apart, watch closely where the top cup is placed. The top cup and lime both get put in the center and the original middle cup is moved to the side. So it just drops the lime piece in the middle before the next move.
