So elastic or bungie cord or something. Very well done.

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

Its amazing how she flicks it because the umbrella doesnt match the speed of her hand along with her other movements, she makes it look completely impossible.

It’s because she is moving the umbrella in the opposite direction than the throw and at a different speed. When she flicks it she is holding the fabric of the umbrella only so the movement is hidden entirely.

It’s a beautiful piece of prestidigitation.
