Based in what I have learned so far. In the context of sparring, there are some hand movement that can be used as faints. When I was in Ying Jow Pai, we use to throw faint jabs to draw out a limb so that we can grab/hook/trap and use that to get in. Sil Lum we did a lot of outside faint (showing hook punch) to do straight line attacks. Or throwng a few hand techniques to set up a kick. I've also been messing around and done the ole popeye rotating the left arm and punch with the right deal. Didn't work but it sure was funny.
Now in a case of doing your forms/ fist sets. Exagerated movements with your hands is used for various applications be it throws, chin na, or shuai chiao applications.
Or your could also do the 3 stooges pointing style: "hey look over there......" , "your shoe lace is untied...."
