-The idea of adhering a deck of cards together into one solid piece was described in the anonymous //[[https://askalexander.org/display/38803/Gibeci+re/98|Asti Manuscript]]//, c. 1700, p. 97 of the Pieper translation. This manuscript was translated in //Gibecière//, Vol. 8 No. 1, Winter 2013, p. 29-234. The centers of the cards were cut out, and then the deck sewn together. A cover card was then glued on top to make the deck seem normal. The internal cavity was used to hide loads that the magician could produce.+===== As a Method =====
  
-The solid deck without the center cavity was described by Harry Hanaoka as "Frozen Cold Deck" in //[[https://askalexander.org/display/38273/The+Sphinx/19|The Sphinx]]//, Vol. 25 No. 6, Aug. 1926, p. 171. It was later popularized by Paul Harris as "Solid Deception" in //Paul Harris Reveals Some of His Most Intimate Secrets//, 1976, p. 1.+Solid blocks without a center cavity are described by H. F. C. Suhr in //Der Amateurzauberer//, 1900, p. 88, in an effect called "Die Anziehungskraft der Erde" by Martignoni. In that effect, the cards of each half of the deck are glued together, making two fused blocks of cards. A selection is replaced between these blocks (after they have been switched in for a normal deck). When held loosely, the selection drops out when the deck is held upright.
