Building card houses requires patience, steady hands, and the right technique — start with a simple triangular base and work upward. Use slightly bent cards for better stability, work in a draft-free area, and accept that collapse is part of the fun.

People who tried this

“The problem is that I've been interested in cardistry for a long time and I saw a kid in my class building a house of cars so I thought: lemme try! So I've been trying to build houses of cards for a few hours and only once did I manage to build a 2-story house. The problem is that my cards keep slipping on the first floor or the floor moves and the cards I just set up on the left side fall over.”
