Beijing Olympic Village In Playing Cards

Keeping on the Olympic theme today, similar to the Lego Beijing Olympic Village, here’s another fan who shows his passion for the Beijing Olympics.

This person is no ordinary fan, he is Brian Berg and he currently holds the world record for stacking cards. To create the Beijing Olympic Village using nothing but ordinary playing cards took him 20 days to complete and some 140,000 playing cards. That really is an extraordinary feat when you consider what steady hands you need to have to stack so many cards. The frustration of a portion of your creation coming down with a single misalignment of a card or an accidental bump of the table with your hand would be enough to drive me crazy.
