<p>Forget <strong>Michael Phelps</strong>&#8217;s over-exposed gold-medal wins&#39;the real spectacle at this year&#8217;s Olympics are the stunning visuals. The light show in the opening ceremony was like <strong>Kanye West</strong>&#8217;s Glow In The Dark tour on steroids, and the whole world can&#8217;t seem to get enough of Beijing&#8217;s impressive sports structures. This week, Guinness World Record holder <strong>Brian Berg</strong> broke his own record by using 140,000 playing cards to replicate China&#8217;s <strong>Olympic Village</strong>. </p>
<p>Even though card stacking isn&#8217;t exactly a sport, the 33-year-old pro trumped his Cinderella&#39;s Castle from 2004 (which was 14 ft. tall), by stacking his latest creation 25 feet high. It took Berg 20 days to build the giant spectacle. Watch a video of him putting the finishing touches on the project below.<br />
