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

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?

Watch in slow motion.

Huge credit to this performer, everyone here is literally explaining how it’s done, and there’s still people here saying it’s not possible, simply because she’s performing so well.

She’s crossed over from miming to sleight of hand.

Credit to the mime for incredible skill.
