American architect and card-stacking extraordinaire Bryan Berg created the tallest house of cards in 8 hours, and at 54 levels high, he needed to climb a ladder to complete it. Berg built the towering masterpiece without the use of glue, wiring, or any metalwork. The house was made entirely from commercially available playing cards……well, except for the HONOR Magic V3 foldable phone that was carefully placed on top. He teamed up with the mobile phone brand, whose super light and thin model was the perfect cherry on top of his record-breaking house of cards. The pro card handler took on the challenge under the watchful eye of Guinness World Records Adjudicator Thomas Bradford. It was no easy feat — Berg needed the room to be almost airtight and as humid as possible. He had 7 humidifiers set up in the room to ensure the cards would cooperate fully during his build, meaning it got very stuffy for the crew who were there to capture the momentous occasion on film. Berg worked almost 8 hours straight, stopping only a couple of times to have a drink of water and a snack. His speed was consistent, stacking up 5 or 6 levels every hour, with the foldable phone placed on top to signal his behemoth build.
