you store air in your cheeks like a chipmunk storing nuts for winter, and use use that air by pushing it out using cheel muscles. While the sir is being forced out of your cheeks, you can replenish your lungs by breathing in through your nose.
Does it work? yes
Is it cool? yes
Is it helpful? not really, as it is hard to get an acceptable sound using just "cheek" air, and I have never benn able to seamlessly get the real air going again without some kind of bump.
I've been able to do it for 17 years, but never found a part that really called for it.
