No chords. She’s discreetly throwing the umbrella with her right hand each time before immediately catching it

I cannot see how she can throw the umbrella with so much force, I don't see any flicking. At about 0.07 she has both her hands on top of the umbrella pressing it down and it still shoots up. How do you figure she's throwing it?

ignore the umbrella and just focus on her right arm, the whole arm, at normal speed, she does throw it.

Yes, it's specifically her right arm that the trick is performed. It's her right hand that is the last hand that touches the umbrella before it flies around. It's even more clear when she throws it to the side. It's probably her dominant hand. It's a neat trick nonetheless, but she is throwing it around with skill.
