Details
This book is the first complete, fully illustrated guide to the art of building mind-boggling, multilevel structures with ordinary playing cards. Written by Bryan Berg, the holder of several Guinness World Records for cardstacking, Stacking the Deck reveals the secret to successful cardstacking. Using illustrations and step-by-step instructions, Bryan guides you through his four-card cell structure and expanded grid techniques on to more elaborate -- and incredibly strong -- creations. He covers a wide range of architectural styles, from classic to whimsical, and various types of structures, including pyramids, shrines, stadiums, churches, an oil derrick, and even the Empire State Building!
Since first setting the height record in 1992, Bryan has built awe-inspiring card models of a Japanese shrine, the Iowa State Capitol building, Ebbets Field, and countless other well-known structures! This book includes photographs of some of these amazing pieces, illustrating just how appealing and enduring a "house of playing cards" can be. Stacking the Deck will inspire everyone from youngsters experimenting with their first deck of cards to adults, who can create their own private skyscrapers.
