He may have bribed or threatened the Triple Threat Triad members into putting on a fancy light show to trick the crowd into thinking he has the ability to energy bend. This would have scared Bolin enough where Amon will proclaim that he decides to let him go to spread the word of his power, creating an element of fear from the Bending-classes, while providing him with a base of support. Chi-blocking will help maintain the general illusion that he has the ability to permanently remove bending, while instilling fear and self-doubt in Korra. This would allow him to take the United Republic with much greater ease.
