Bryan Berg, an American architect and renowned card-stacking artist, has achieved a new Guinness World Record that has left many amazed. Within just 8 hours, Berg constructed a 54-level house of cards, a challenging feat that required him to climb a ladder to complete the final levels. The official Guinness World Records (GWR) handle shared a video of Berg attempting this record. As the clock started, Berg carefully assembled the cards with intense focus, ensuring the structure remained stable.

Under the watchful eye of GWR Adjudicator Thomas Bradford, Berg successfully completed the challenge. As a final touch, he placed a mobile phone on top of the card tower. GWR shared in the caption, “Tallest house of cards built in 8 hours! Congratulations to Bryan Berg on his new record and for completing Honor’s challenge to test just how light & thin their HONOR MagicV3 is!” According to the GWR website, Berg constructed his towering card creation without using glue, wires, or any metal supports. To pull off this incredible feat, he required the room to be nearly airtight, with high humidity levels to keep the cards stable throughout the build.

Berg set up seven humidifiers in the room to maintain the ideal conditions, making the environment quite uncomfortable for the crew filming the event, as noted on the website. His commitment to the project was clear, as he worked almost continuously for the full eight hours, pausing only briefly for water and a quick snack. His steady pace allowed him to add five to six levels each hour consistently.

Berg is no stranger to breaking records, having set the record for the tallest playing card structure multiple times throughout his career. His current record, standing at 7.86 meters (25 feet 9 inches), has remained unchallenged since 2007. Berg first achieved this feat in 1992 and has continuously returned to surpass his previous accomplishments.

Additionally, Berg had constructed the world’s largest playing card structure, a replica of three Macau hotels measuring 10.39 meters (34 feet 1 inch) in length, 2.88 meters (9 feet 5 inches) in height, and 3.54 meters (11 feet 7 inches) in width. However, this record was surpassed last year by Arnav Daga from India, whose structure measured 12.21 meters (40 feet) in length, 3.47 meters (11 feet 4 inches) in height, and 5.08 meters (16 feet 8 inches) in width.
