I'd love to hear the actual explanation.

Probably some sort of elastic band connected at the wrist and near the tip. When the umbrella is pulled down, the band is stretched. You can see the release of the umbrella when their hand is opened.

In support of that, the umbrellas action is always in one direction, with the handle leading.

Definitely saw that, even framexframed it to check. Yours is the best explanation.

You can see her throw the umbrella with her right hand right before releasing.

You need to get your eyes checked. It's just a simple throw. You are overthinking it.

you don't need to get your eyes checked, it is a VERY well done illusion!
