 Bryan
Berg broke the Guinness World Record for the World's Tallest
House of Freestanding Playing Cards in 1992 at the age of seventeen,
with a tower fourteen feet, six inches tall. He has been commissioned
to break his own record more than ten times. His latest structure
in the category is over twenty-five feet tall. In 2004, Guinness
created a new record category for the World's Largest House
of Cards to further recognize Berg's work. He continues to hold
both records, which require that the builder use no tape, glue,
or tricks in his constructions. Touring regularly, Berg has
stacked cards in virtually every major US and Canadian city,
Europe, and Asia.
Berg has appeared on CNN, 20/20, MTV, VH1, Showtime, The Discovery
Channel, ESPN, Ripley's Believe It Or Not, Good Morning America,

Martha Stewart, Guinness Prime Time, CBS This Morning, and various

every major US newspaper and publication, including: The New
York Post, The Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, Orange County
Register, San Francisco Chronicle, Chicago Tribune, Dallas Morning
News, USA Today, Fast Company, the Huffington Post, FHM, Maxim,

Kids. He has also been featured in publications across Canada,
