- Have you ever played a card game then decided to see how high you could stack the cards? Bryan Berg has made card stacking an art form. He holds numerous Guinness World Records (so many he's lost count), and keeps upping the ante on the difficulty. Stacking a house of cards on a running dryer? Why not!

I thought the title said “Man stacks cards while impossibly high”
Now that is something I'd pay to watch
lol
😂😂😂😂😂
Now that's something I want to see!
I read your comment as “Man attacks cards while impossibly high”
He clearly doesn't own a cat.
Haha good one.
Tara h lemme hit that
Plot twist: the cat built the card houses while he was trying to knock them over

He’s a tree. He needs a friend.
you know what for sooeeaw dfs

Bryan: *starts building a tower*
His friend: Here we go again....

Lol
He doesn't seem like the friend type lmao
This has like no replies
@@zackiechan2601 He's not. I went to school with him and watched him ostracize any one who wasn't as smart as he was.
"Professional Card Stacker" sounds like he just pulled 3 words out of a hat.
It's his new password.
Neither one of you two had a funny comment. That makes three of us.
Whatever you do, if you make a living out of it, you're a professional.
This guy: "Humidity is problematic because it changes the shape of the cards"
Also this guy: Places cards in his mouth
Humidity will change the shape of the cards which are alrady stacked. Doesnt matter for the cards that are being stacked
Unless he senses the air is dry so he puts the exact amount of liquid to the mix.
You are welcome; now you get the secret.
Yes, this guy is dumb because everyone else knows that hours or days of ambient humidity is exactly the same as holding something between your lips momentarily.
What an idiot
GENES ARE GENIUS GENES ROYAL BLOOD ROCK STAR BLESSED ONE
If you quarantine this guy with 10,000 decks of cards, he won't even *notice* he's on lock-down
what are you talking about? one day and he's used them all up
Yes and then isolated himself in the house of cards.
I feel like trying to stack 3 cards is harder than 10,000
good thing he isn't building with toilet paper then
Dennis HEY! That’s precious
I imagine his parents yelling at him that playing with cards wouldn’t bring him nowhere
But playing with cards WOULD bring him SOMEwhere :D
Well, he also got a masters in engineering .
It really wouldn't bring him anywhere.
Kasper Vestergaard It would bring him to achieve a genius world record and that’s SOMEWHERE.
@@pizzablackwell5583 world record - honestly, who cares :)
This video raises many unanswered questions:
What happens to the cards AFTER the project? Are they sorted and re-used, or just thrown away? Who supplies the cards? Does he get them for free as a promotion for the company that manufactures them, or are they purchased? How is he compensated for his time when doing these projects? And WHY would anyone leave a thumbs down on this video?
I was very curious too haha I had to go find the answers. It’s very interesting!!
Sorted why??? It's his job.... He take all back and make other projects with..
Who supply? The card maker....
How his is paid? Like every artist in the world.... He estimate the time, the complexity, the amount of card and give a quote..
I imagine the ones leaving the thumbs downs are just jelly.
@@xTreme.Power. It seems unlikely that he'd reuse the cards considering how it's shown he uses new decks of cards to build the rocket.
But the point is, instead of relying on guesswork and what seems likely, I'd rather have the truth.
I'm assuming he's compensated with money. As for the cards I guess the client supplies and keeps them and does whatever they want with it as I don't think he has a shortage.

That's a really good question.
Probably cards that have plastic composition for more integrity.
Bicycle most likely because they are cheap and highly available

When house of cards is built better than modern Houses
I adore minimalism.

The "funny kid" comes in and sits on it
I worked for Bryan during a build in 2000. He was a master of his craft.

You learn something new every day. I had no idea you could generate so much stability with these things. But I guess a Harvard educated architect can teach me a thing or two😅👍
THE REAL TEACHER IS HE WHO CREATED THEE NOT THE FAKERS WHO ARE THE TAKERS
@@goronpaulpeace What’s wrong with humans teaching other humans things. Nothing, and even God would be ok with that, i would think. Lol. So you’re not speaking for the creator, you’re speaking for your own twisted little, weird meaningless agenda. Lol.
This is whole time I couldn’t get my mind off how expensive those cards must be.
A lot. Most are 4 bucks a deck and he uses at least 100 decks.
Parents:"son you should become an architect or am engineer"
This guy: *CÆRD STAÇKÏNG
He went to Harvard what a waste of tuition.
@@skepticmoderate5790 he's using the things he learned for his job, doesn't seem like a waste of tuition to me.
skeptic moderate how do u know he doesn’t have a job?
vmlopes I mean he did say his profession is a professional card stacker...given how long these must take, I doubt he has much time for anything else...
2:45
Him: "happy accidents"
Me: you look younger Bob!
Fair play to this guy for making it into his job. 99% of people will never get paid to do something they love.
A+++
I remembered seeing him featured at ruff Huffman show when I was a kid funny seeing him again after all these years. Good to know he doing great!

*I love that this video is **11:11** long.* Haha satisfies my OCD so hard! 😅
I can see this giving him extreme satisfaction
He's been doing this since 1994, he's probably bored of it, but its awesome to see he's still at it, I've been seeing him on TV on and off since he appeared on Ripley's believe it or not
Mahipal Sanikop I stack card tower because of him. Can confirm: it gives me a fuckton of satisfaction whenever I put the final card on
6:04 he was like "tf of a monstrosity did i just built"
He should have a masterclass this is incredible and I’d love to learn how to do it!
Now I really want a leafblower 😂

I like the narration of this video. Not overdone like a channel called ms mojo or something like that. There's a good balance of the actual interview video and overlay narration audio.
Im curios... Do u reuse the cards n if not what is done with them?
Alternate Video Title:
“WHO WANTS TO PLAY 250,000 PICK UP?”
I love how he used the word “Professional” for card building. I didn’t realise it was a profession 😃
Well it simply means he can make a living out of it and that's what he probably wanted to point out, it's not just a hobby, it's his job.
he gets paid for card building projects so ya know
@@Willensimperium jobs and professions are different though. A profession holds more stakes and a higher degree of professionalism. Idk if this qualifies, but examples would be doctors, nurses, lawyers, and so on
@@futurepastnull11 Then it's probably a translation thing here, in German you also say "professional football player" for example and that simply means you get an income that lets you live without additional second jobs etc. because it's in the higher parts of the third "PROFESSIONAL" football league or anywhere in the second.
definitely deserves the title master card builder or expert at the very least but not professional.
The moment he blows that rocket, he looks so happy and satified looking those cards fall
I think I saw this guy doing his thing in Dusseldorf Airport in 2014. It was bloody impressive in person.
