Bryan Berg is a professional "card stacker" who builds houses of cards
on a very large scale. Trained as an architect, Bryan Berg is the only known
person to make living building structures with freestanding playing cards.
He uses no tape, glue, or tricks, and his method has been tested to support
660 lbs. per square foot.
Berg has stacked cards for corporate special events, public relations
campaigns, and science and children's museums in many U.S. cities,
Canada, Europe, and Asia. Berg's clients have included Walt Disney World,
a Lexus commercial, Procter & Gamble, American major league baseball
and hockey, and the San Francisco Opera among others.
He also participated in a music video by The Bravery, playing a lonely man
who builds a fantasy world out of cards.
In 2004, Guinness created a record category for World's Largest House
of Freestanding Playing Cards to recognize a project.
Berg built for Walt Disney World, a replica of Cinderella's Castle.
In 2010, the record was renewed by him using 4051 sets of cards,
over 218,000 cards, and built in 44 days, a replica of the Venetian Macao.
