Incredible replica of structure made from playing cards!

Professional card stacker (who knew there was such a profession?) Bryan Berg made a replica of Venetian Macao (Sands Macao, The Plaza and Venetian Macao buildings) in 2010. He used approximately 4051 sets of cards, over 218,000 cards, and built the replica in 44 days. Bryan started the project on January 26, 2010 and completed it on March 10, 2010. The knockdown date was March 20, 2010.

No glue, no tape, no Velcro, just cards.

Amazing, for once somebody started a cool thread instead of gloom and doom.  What a refreshing change.

No one is familiar with the old saying, "A house of cards"?

 

Didn't you make building structures from cards?  My father and I would do that on a card table when I was a kid.  I didn't get very many up but the fun part was knocking it down Woman LOL

 

This was a classic:

Oh my goodness, me either!  All I can think is how many times this klutz would knock the whole thing over.

 

But it's pretty cool.   Good for him, his patience, and his abilities.   Just keep me away from it.  Smiley Very Happy

If you all want to see another incredible skill, google Willard Wigan.  He is a microartist who puts his sculptures on the head of a pin or within the eye of a needle.

 

If I knew how to post pictures I would do so they are amazing.
