Guinness World Record-holding cardstacker Bryan Berg has made a living stacking playing cards, and now he's here to help all of us learn some of the foundational tricks of the trade. Bryan explains why the traditional "V" stacking formation is flawed and shows how, when done properly, a house of cards can even support blocks of concrete.

@FlorianEagox 3 года назад

This is pretty tricky! I can get the first square down pretty well, and a little bit of the extension, but when I start adding lots of cards around it to expand the grid, they start pushing against each other, become uneven, and the whole thing collapses! Pretty tricky

It may be a house of cards, but it uses the same engineering principle that was used to build cathedrals - compression.

Real talk, does the quality of the cards matter? Like say, is a bargain bin set as stackable as an expensive set?

@tylerthegreat8001 4 года назад

I don't think it matters. I would go with the cheep ones. More cards means you can double them up, making the whole thing stronger

@packguar6617 4 года назад

@tim64163 Год назад

I remember playing some stress test games with house of cards when I was young. Basically each player would get a deck of card, we had to build a structure and then blow on each other structure. And the one that survived the most blow won. We didn't have gameboys back then had to find fun ways to entertain ourselves right!
