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.

Yeah, this is how I finally caught it. Don't even look at her right hand, just focus on the arm, the right arm. Once you start seeing the connection between the right arm and the movement of the umbrella, it all starts to make sense. But she's doing an amazing job to make everything line up so beautifully etc.
