About this deal

November 2022 was the 19th Guinness World Records Day and challengers from all around the world gathered to celebrate their record-breaking attempts! Many collectors limit their collection to a certain area - waiter trays or playing cards perhaps. Others take the plunge and acquire all they come across bearing the famous brand name 'GUINNESS'.

In Qingdao, Shandong province, China, Tian Rui, aka the "house of cards architect" showed the entire process of building the tallest house of cards in 12 hours through live streaming from multiple platforms online. On his online personal channel, you can find his works of art - made from playing cards - such as a castle based on the one from the movie Frozen, which required 40 hours of work and 12,000 cards; A nine-hour, 8,800-card temple based on the Temple of Heaven; and also Big Ben, which took 18 hours and 10,000 cards to build. Tian chose to livestream his attempt on Guinness World Records Day to thank his followers, whom have encouraged and accompanied Tian Rui from the very beginning. The former record holder was Bryan Berg (USA), who completed the 48-story house of cards in March 2016, with a total height of 3.26 m (10 ft 8.35 in). No glue, no special effects, with all his works built by his bare hands, are the reasons why his works are admired by many.

The scope of his work gradually increased in size, going from knee-high structures to a floor-to-ceiling replica of the Empire State Building.
