Very quick power nap, perhaps, then nothing (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

presto

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'very quick' is the definition.

'power nap perhaps then nothing' is the wordplay.
'power' becomes 'p' (symbol in physics).
'nap perhaps' becomes 'rest' (I've seen this in another clue. I am not sure about the 'perhaps' bit.).
'then' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'nothing' becomes 'O' (looks like zero - 0).
'p'+'rest'+'o'='PRESTO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for presto that I've seen before include "Hey, it's a magician's word" , "Hey, quickly for a magician" , "fast to the maximum" , "scored quickly" , "Poster (anag.)" .)
