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

[@danielhricmail]

Please elaborate.

elevated aspirations Truly. Wikipedia is very awesome! Whoever thinks it is not is a fool. It is the coolest e-encyclopaedia ever.

[@Gully2k]

@@内田ガネーシュno lie told about Wikipedia and if you’re in doubt check the sources

[@FlorianEagox]

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

Wow! It's amazing what Bryan Berg can do with playing cards. I have trouble just shuffling them.

Just love how he said: And I happen to have this concrete block sitting here

[@ScandiNinja]

4:20 He can build a cardhouse but struggles with block stacking 🤣😂 still nice video and very cool.

Haha, funny number

[@fqidz]

I've been looking for tutorial of card stacking for a very long time now. Thank you Bryan and WIRED for making this video. And where can I buy cards for card stacking? I always seem to run out.

[@patstaysuckafreeboss8006]

Dollar store

[@harisdurvesh891]

I was trying to figure out how to do this and this video just got uploaded

[@ebinom8112]

It's spooky atimes how KZbin seems to read ones mind to know what you want. 😀

[@RafaSnaks]

I don't know what's more surprising, the fact that we haven't seen Erik Singer for a while, or the fact that nobody's complaining about it.

[@fengmagicgadget2987]

People don't realize how much patience this takes

[@rollintm]

yup, even smaller cardhouses can take hours

[@pepe-pj9wr]

I tried it myself and never knew it was that hard

[@Mysterialic]

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

[@tylerthegreat8001]

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]

I am guessing paper cards would be weaker than plastic ones.

[@orionthewildhunt9173]

you want stronger cards like this guy sais in other interveiws so the quality matters yes

[@nas84payne]

“Do we have another one?” This guy 😂

[@coyotegames156]

This guy slammed on a concrete block resting on nothing but cards and one card fell down but when I breathe a little too heavy 50 cards fall down in a domino effect. Shows the power of stacking the cards

[@dangeldoll]

I remember a video of Bryan showing how he was building as a kid, years ago! my mind was bubbling with excitement! he showed this 4 card technique and I replicated that, it was a brilliant idea and I loved it! but I run out of cards fast! I could do 2 "floors" and was out of cards in 1 deck, still very cool

[@tastemakerguidie]

pheu the kickback on these cards got me wearing worms

[@EEXPERIENDESCOOLEDICE]

[@kasenpatel]

I used to do this in elementary school with uno cards, and we tried to see how many binders we could put on it without it falling down.

Unless you don't have playing cards, there is no reason to not to learn this now. Thank you Bryan and Wired.

Instructions unclear, got playing cards on my pants crack

[@1direction288]

the moment i stacted the first square after 10 minutes i took a breath as i was relaxed and the air made it fall down :`(

i was watching youtube at the same time and i laughed. My 10 by 10 collapsed.

[@tim64163]

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!

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

I love building houses of cards. I see so many attempt and they can't even get it started. Mainly because they start on something like a smooth table.

[@werksguy]

The Mat he uses to stack the cards has a lot texture on it and looks like it is made out of a rubber material.

[@graesonsmith4387]

after the first layer, he has to stack on cards which is even more difficult
