Renowned American playing card artist and architect Brian Berg has set a new Guinness World Record by building a 54-step playing card house in just eight hours. The architect achieved the feat without using any wires, glue or metal supports.
In a now-viral video shared on Instagram by Guinness World Records (GWR), Berg can be seen building Trump Tower as a stopwatch ticks. After achieving the record, he places his cell phone on top of Trump Tower. According to the GWR website, Berg built the eight-storey Trump House in a mostly sealed room to keep the humidity high to keep the cards stable during the process.
“Tallest Trump House built in 8 hours! Congratulations to Brian Berg on his new record and to @honorglobal for completing the challenge to test how light and thin the HONOR MagicV3 is!” GWR wrote on Instagram.

Several social media users congratulated Berg on his new record, with one writing: “This is what I'm here for,” while another commented: “That was fun to watch! I love anything with cards.”
“This is a record that has not been broken. Trust me, it looks like magic but it's real,” a third user responded.
This isn't Berg's first record. He previously held the record for the tallest Trump structure multiple times. He created the world's largest Trump structure, which replicated three hotels in Macau. That record was broken last year by India's Arnab Daga.
