Career
Bryan Berg, who was trained as an architect, is the only known person to make a living building system from freestanding playing cards.
Berg earned a bachelor's degree in architecture from Iowa State University in 1997 and spent three years as a member of the design faculty. Berg earned a master's degree in design studies from Harvard University School of Design in 2004.
In several U.S. cities, Canada, Europe, and Asia, Berg has stacked cards for corporate special events, public relations campaigns, and science and children's museums. Walt Disney World, Lexus, Procter & Gamble, Major League Baseball, the NHL, and the San Francisco Opera are among Berg's clients. He appeared in The Bravery's music video, portraying a lonely man who creates a fantasy world out of place.
Berg first set the world record for the world's tallest playing cards in 1992, with a 14-foot (4.4 meters) tall tower. Berg has been asked to break his own Guinness Record about ten times since then.
In 1998, he built another tower in the College of Design's atrium at Iowa State University. It was about 25 feet (7.6 meters) high and carried over 1500 decks of standard cards weighing over 250 pounds (110 kilograms). It took two and a half weeks to build up to eight to twelve hours per day. The tower was surrounded by scaffolding during construction. In the lobby of the casino in Potsdamer Platz, Berlin, Berg constructed a taller tower for the German version of Guinness Prime Time on November 6, 1999. The tower was 25.29 feet (7.71 meters) high and required over 1700 decks to stack up to 131 stories.
At the African-American Museum in Fair Park in Dallas, Texas, Berg's most recent record was a 25-foot 9 7/16 inch tall tower. For this record, he tried a new method that involved stacking cards vertically rather than horizontally, which reduced the number of cards needed by nearly half.
Berg attempted to smash the Guinness World Record for the tallest freestanding card structure in 60 minutes on September 18, 2009, on Live with Regis & Kelly. The cards fell down as Berg began building the structure before time ran out, costing him his quest for a new world record.
Guinness established a new category for the world's biggest house of free-standing playing cards in 2004 to honor a proposal created by Berg for Walt Disney World, a recreation of Cinderella's Castle. Berg set a new record in 2010 by using over 218,000 cards to build a Venetian Macao replica, which took 44 days.
Berg does not normally use tape, glue, or tricks. His method has been proven to carry 660 pounds. Square foot is the same as a square foot.
Berg used adhesive for the first time on one of his projects in 2006. With Loctite Control Gel Super Glue from the adhesive brand, the structure, a re-creation of the "Fabulous Las Vegas" sign, was built for Loctite. The sign was on display in Las Vegas during the 2006 World Series of Poker.
