Stack Those Cards
Posted on | March 18, 2010 | No Comments
Bryan Berg has taken card-stacking to the next level. He builds outrageously large and detailed structures using only playing cards. No glue, no tricks, just a steady hand and a visionary mind.
Here’s Bryan’s response to the question, “What makes them stand up?”
“The cards stand up–and stay up–for two reasons. First, there are so many cards in large constructions, the combined weight of all the cards actually adds to the stability of the structure. Second, the weight is supported by the strategic arrangement of cards, called grids. Cards, arranged in grid patterns, resemble waffles or ice cube trays. The cards actually prohibit each other from bending and also prohibit each other from falling over. If you can learn to build a grid structure, you can build just about anything.”
