World Record Cardstacker At Woodgrove Mall

Bryan Berg

Guinness World

Record Holder

Cardstacker

Bryan has been at Woodgrove Mall this past week and will be knocking down his latest work at 2:00pm Saturday May 1.

Bryan is participating in the mall's spring sales campaign by attempting to make a replica of the New York City skyline buildings using more than 22,000 recycled gift cards collected from mall retailers over the past year.

Overall the composition should be 6 meters long, 2 meters wide and 2.5 meters tall. The cards he will be using, if laid end to end would stretch more than 2 kilometers. To prove he has not used tape, glue or any other substance to aid his construction, on the last day of the exhibit he will knock it all down!

Cardstacking on this level is not child's play, this is Berg's full time job and he is the only professional cardstacker known worldwide. His tallest tower was 25 feet and 10 inches tall, built in 2007. His most recent largest structure used over 4,000 decks of cards.
