{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Curve casts

Hi - I remember a recent article which indicated that you can throw a curve cast either by overpowering the forward cast, or by twisting the wrist at the end of the forward casting stroke.  

I think that they are easy enough to do by using a more side arm cast and overpowering it (and/or using an untapered leader), but I cannot for the life of me understand how twisting your wrist could possibly accomplish this.  It makes no sense to me....the rod still moves in the same direction, so how does the fly line read your mind and determine that you want the last few feet of it to kink into a 90 degree bend?
