I thought the title said “Man stacks cards while impossibly high”

[LivingLifeThruALens]

His friend: Hey man, wanna play cards?
Bryan: *starts building a tower*
His friend: Here we go again....

[Eipetra]

"Engineers Hate Him, Card Manufacturers Love Him"

[philthederp]

"Everything else that I do is a sort of series of happy accidents..."

This guy definitely watches Bob Ross.

If you quarantine this guy with 10, 000 decks of cards, he won't even *notice* he's on lock-down

[thriquinox]

Those cards are more stable than my life.

[quisquiliaetuber]

I imagine his parents yelling at him that playing with cards wouldn’t bring him nowhere

[Hotobu]

"Professional Card Stacker" sounds like he just pulled 3 words out of a hat.

[cpotisch]

Friends: I’m so scared about COVID. Our healthcare system is like a house of cards.
Me, an intellectual: Well, _actually..._

[p-mtc]

I wanted to make joke out of him, but this is art and he's talented artist.

[roloyoung]

This guy: "Humidity is problematic because it changes the shape of the cards"

Also this guy: Places cards in his mouth

[jyavant]

Hey, I’ve built a pyramid out of 7 cards.

[pressfinchat]

Me: Hey guys wanna play card stacking?
That one kid in the corner all this time: *My time has come to shine.*

[UTArch]

This video raises many unanswered questions:
What happens to the cards AFTER the project? Are they sorted and re-used, or just thrown away? Who supplies the cards? Does he get them for free as a promotion for the company that manufactures them, or are they purchased? How is he compensated for his time when doing these projects? And WHY would anyone leave a thumbs down on this video?

[ProjectPHNX]

Guy: builds tower of cards
Wind: bout to end this guy's career
Tower: not even destroyed by a leaf blower
Wind: nani?

[ClementinesmWTF]

This guy taught me how to build houses of cards over ten years ago. I have his book and I used to be obsessed with building them. I have pictures of buildings taller than my and my family. I’m very happy to see him still doing this ten years later

“Hold up, I wasn’t rolling can we get another take?”

Then a reporter with a wired microphone comes in...

[brynmorgan]

Him: hey let's play 52 stack pick-up
His friends: don't you mean 52 *card* pick-up?
Him: did I stutter.
