Solid Deception is a classic plot in card magic in which a deck of cards after being used, usually in an Ambitious Card routine, becomes a solid block.
Published by Paul Harris in his book Paul Harris Reveals Some of His Most Intimate Secrets ([[1976) then marketed as product in 1980, starting the "Solid Deck" craze.

- Art of Astonishment, Vol. 1 (1996)
Variations
- Omni Deck by Danny Korem in Korem without Limits (1985), inspired by an idea by Jerry Andrus.
