Card stacking.

[Isualum13]

Spending some time on the YouTube. Came accross a wired video about a card stacker named Bryan Berg. What he builds is insane. At the 2:07 mark he is in an Iowa State shirt. So, naturally I did a google search. His wikipedia page says he is from Spirit Lake. He graduated from iowa state in 1997. Did some towers at the state fair. Worked at iowa state for a few years before earning a masters at Harvard and is now in New Mexico. I was quite young when he was around. Was I raised under a rock, or are there more of you that haven't heard of this guy.

Never heard of him. He should have been a freshman when I was a senior or so at ISU. Looking at that card tower, I'm guessing that most women have no clue of him either.

He is married with a couple kids so apparently it worked at least once.

Hi stuff is really cool, I would put him just behind George Washington Carver and just ahead of the computer as best things from ISU.

i was in middle school when he made the rounds on the news.

Pretty interesting and cool story!

If I had those kind of card skills, I would have gone up to every attractive woman possible and pulled an ace of hearts out of any body part I could have.

Almost any body part, bro.

Is there enough money in card stacking for this guy to become our T Boone?

Internet says his net worth is 1.1 million. Not insane, but apparently being a professional card stacker pays pretty decent.

In 1999 he built a tower in the middle of the design college building. He was going after the Guinness world record. I think he was successful, but don't recall for certain. It was a covered in the Daily for a while.

Wired magazine put up a new video yesterday with Bryan Berg showing everyone how to effectively stack cards. With this stay at home **** going on, I may need to go after the record. Anyone have 1000 decks of cards I can borrow?

 

[Isualum13]

Gave this a go today. Learned all a person needs to be good at this is lots of time and cards. I had two decks.

 

[Cycsk]

Yes, but can he play Giant Jenga?

Seriously, I want him to come to our tailgate!
