the winner of last months post~very tall card towers.

if there is one name synonoymous with card towers it is without a doubt BRYAN BERG!

we all know that wiki has nothing but 100% truth. lets wiki him shall we:

Berg first experimented with card houses at the age of eight at his family's farm in Spirit Lake, Iowa. During a high school snow day he discovered a new technique, building using a honeycomb lattice rather than by leaning cards against each other, that allowed him to build large structures.
Trained as an architect, Berg is possibly the only person in the world to make a full-time living stacking cards.Berg earned a Bachelor of Architecture from Iowa State University in 1997, and served on the design faculty there for three years.In 2004, Berg earned his Master of Design Studies from the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
Berg's growing fame, and records, lead to many further projects.Touring regularly, Berg has stacked cards in virtually every major U.S. city and in Japan, Denmark, and Germany. Berg's clientele have included Walt Disney World, Star Wars, San Francisco Opera, Neopets/Wizards of the Coast, Fuji Television Japan, Post Cereal, Pinnacle Brands, Topps, Baseball Hall of Fame, DMG World Media, Procter & Gamble, and Lexus. Projects have also been produced with organizations such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, American Airlines, Major League Baseball, National Hockey League. Berg's science museum projects for children have included San Francisco's Exploratorium and Zeum, Science Museum of Minnesota, and Science Center of Iowa. He also starred in a music video by The Bravery, playing a lonely man who builds a fantasy world out of cards.
In 2006, Berg used an adhesive for the first time on one of his projects. The structure, a re-creation of the "Fabulous Las Vegas" sign was created for Loctite with the adhesive brand's Loctite Control Gel Super Glue. The sign was displayed during the 2006 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.
