Bryan
Berg is a
professional
"cardstacker"
who builds
houses of
cards on a
very large
scale.
Trained
as an
architect,
Bryan Berg is
the only known
person to make
a living
building
structures
with
freestanding
playing cards.
He uses no
tape, glue, or
tricks; and
his method has
been tested to
support 660
pounds 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
Cinderalla's
Castle. (6th
