House of Cards Sets New World Record


We posted on Bryan Berg’s world record last year. Bryan is a builder. His construction material? Playing cards. He is the world record holder 15 years running. Here is his 2007 world record– a 25 feet, 9.5 inch tall tower. It took him 5 weeks, and 1,800 decks of cards, to complete.

What’s truly remarkable is Bryan uses no glue, tape or other supports– just 100% free standing playing cards. Unbelievable.

Fascinating video on how he does it: click here (via CNN). The buildings are so sturdy it takes a leaf blower to bring them down. (click here).

Check out Bryan’s website, aptly named Cardstacker.
