Hold your breath! World’s Tallest Structure of Playing Cards!

Jee-wiz, how much time does this guy have on his hands?

33 year old Bryan Berg has been crowned the Guinness World Record Cardstacker holder at the Texas State Fair for a record-setting skyscraper standing 25 feet 9 7/16 inches tall — which took about a month to build — topping his previous world record of 25 feet 3 inches.

Word is that he doesn’t use a shred of tape or a drop of glue or any “supporting” element

With 1,800 decks of ordinary freestanding playing cards, some scaffolding, and a hole in the ceiling, he worked for 5 weeks to complete the more than 25 foot tower — limited only by the height of the building he was working in and time.

“I’m actually a very clumsy person.” he says.

(There’s a fine line between being humble and just boasting, Bryan!)
