To clarify, it's not that Iblis puts on the demonstration in front of everyone else. The event happens where suddenly the Cylons disappear, and no one might know how he did it, but they're quick to give him the credit.
Fair point about keeping the mystery (though chronologically speaking this would take place at the same point in the episode where we get our first real clue in the conversation with Baltar) but I just couldn't buy the argument that capturing Baltar was sufficient to account for fulfilling the first task and explaining the disappearance of the Cylons in subsequent episodes and that something more dramatic had to happen to explain their absence until HOG. Someone once suggested that Iblis may have helped maneuver the Fleet away to a position far removed from where the Cylons were but the problem with that is, that would have made it impossible for Apollo and everyone else to return to the planet they found him on after Baltar was captured.
