The idea is to trap other players between you when one member of the team has a good hand. If you have to verbally tell your partner what your cards are, you suck at collusion. First of all, even rank amateurs can catch you doing it, and secondly, you can't take advantage of positioning to force the mark to put more money in the pot.
Knowing what your partner folded is a tiny advantage. Knowing both your partner's cards and the flop while in the pot with the mark is a much larger advantage.
