Here is a beautiful Matrix effect by my buddy Rony "Salamangkero" Mariano of the Manila Famiglia and The Tavern. Its an unusual Matrix effect that uses some unique ideas. I believe it is caused by the coffee I serve in my Tavern. Hope you like it. A little something from Manila.

I'm sure its the coffee! its just one of the many effects that I created while at the tavern. there must be something in this place. its the fruit of our weekly session. we are trying to come up something new or create something that would fool each other before the session and true enough we do! after which we break them down and combine them...we end up with these little gems. from unconventional sleights/moves and routines. by the way the second version is based on rannies idea which is my favorite. I'm ok keeping up with his magic but keeping up his energy to stay that long is beyond me. I'm talking about seeing the sun rise. there you have it a little taste of the tavern and the magic of manila. thank you gentlemen!

Rannie is Ronnie using flipper coins....
Vinny wash your mouth for even saying or thinking that...LOL

Ronnie that was a beautiful routine it doesn't get any better than that.

Thanks a lot vinny! I'm working on your suggestion. I like the idea and thanks for showing me that coin routine using your crimp. the illusion of sound is great!

You got to be kidding me! That was crazy, amazing and one of the most incredible renditions of the Matrix I've ever seen. I'm fooled so badly that it hurts!

Rannie, I bet I won't find that blend at the local Starbucks. See you soon! -Dan

You guys really are something. Where does all this talent come from? Let me guess lots of practice? Lol. I must say that all these routines you keep coming up with and that includes you Vinny as well, all pack a punch. You guys need to be getting these out on DVD so we can see how they are done, lol, because you sure have me fooled. A job well done and the best to you all.

shaun.

This is what happens when the two minds are left alone to session.. Great work salamangkero! You should see this guy live.. He is one of the best card/coin manipulators in my book..

ps who thought of that name? hehe

Slick! The Manila Famiglia has been really packin' some heat lately. Good stuff from Sal and The Boss. Keep it up guys. Hey yo Mano, "The Matrix King"...what you think mi amigo??? -Famiglia! -MB

PS - Hey Sal, I like that 1-handed switch you got, too...

Yeah! lots of practice and Rannie's coffee serve only at the tavern. Wait for Rannie's DVD this might be included. I've got another one coming... thanks.



It's after you left the tavern. The name is taken from the coffee ingredients. Check the label of your coffee.

Sal,

Wait till you see the extra kick I added to the coffee. I think I might have solved the problem we were trying to fix. Can't wait to show you >

Later!

Oh you must rest sometime buddy! I bet youre stil doin magic while sleeping... cant wait to sip that extra cup...

Excellent work by Salamangkero, thanks for sharing Rannie. It doesn't take long to feel the effect of that routine! The coffee over there must be good.....

The tavern's coffee is addictive... I guess it has some drugs in it. Really. I've tasted it a lot of times, it tastes great but there's something in it which keeps the manila famiglia awake despite this and that. x_x; in filipino terms, "nakakabangag" but in a good way! Great work R&R! You ought to have a DVD of your own creative compilations!

Wow. this is a fantastic matrix routine! one of the best I have seen. Rannie what about people who do not drink coffee like me? Will ever be able to do such things too??

p.s. cool new avatar there ronnie!

WOW!! That routine really fooled me. But I was not surprised considering that it's "THE" Rony Mariano who did it. Great work!!
