Man builds the world's largest house of cards

Using 4051 decks of playing cards a US architect has built the world's largest house of cards.

Bryan Berg took 44 days to complete the structure which is a replica of the Venetian Macau casino in China and uses over 218,000 cards

Unbelievably the structure - which is over 10 metres long and three metres tall - is completely freestanding and does not use glue or tape to hold together.

Which means that towards the end of his 44 day build Bryan must have been really hoping he didn't need to sneeze.

Speaking of the world's largest house of cards Bryan said: "I was inspired to stack cards by my card-playing grandfather; maybe I can inspire some visitors at The Venetian Macao to try their hand at building their own structures.

"This will be the most ambitious project I have undertaken."
