Card Tower Story

According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_tower), "Building a house of cards (also known as a card tower) is a pastime involving the stacking of playing cards on top of each other in order to form a structure.

The structures created using this method rely on nothing more than balance and friction in order to stay upright. Ideally, adhesives or other external connecting methods are not used, and no damage or alterations are made to the cards themselves. The larger the structure, therefore, the more likely it is to fall, due entirely to the higher number of balanced cards that could fail and compromise the integrity of the card building."

For centuries people relied on paper decks, when wind, pets or other unfortunate circumstances could ruin their creations. Now we can build and share virtual card towers using the latest technologies!

Still if you wish to build a real Card Tower - there is a good introduction on Wikihow. In case you did not know - the greatest Card Tower master of our time is Bryan Berg, holder of Guinness World Record. And you can find a lot of Card Tower videos on Youtube!
