From Magicpedia, the free online encyclopedia for magicians by magicians.
P.H. Vanishing Deck is a gimmick allowing you to vanish a deck just pulled out from a card box developed by Paul Harris. Originally marketed by Jerry Mentzer's Magic Methods (1973).
Also published in his book Art of Astonishment Vol 1 (1996).

- Just a Little Shaver by Stephen Minch in Genii, March 1997, page 30. - A modified version of the gimmick is used to make a card box appear to contain a deck of cards and then later vanish.
- EXIT51 by Ben Harris (2003)
- DVD Pimpin by Nathan Kranzo (2008) uses the same gimmick to help transform a deck of cards into a wad of money.
