My first record was 14 feet 6 inches tall, and this one, my newest, is almost exactly 25 feet tall.  I’ve broken my own record many times—each time a little taller.  How tall could I build?  The sky’s the limit; I’m only limited by time and how high a ceiling I have. In fact, for this project, we removed some ceiling tiles in the event space so I could build up into the attic as high as it would go.  This particular Guinness Record, my newest World’s Tallest House of Cards at 25 feet, was built for the State Fair of Texas.  In the composition, you can see that tallest tower itself, with many other buildings surrounding it.  The tallest spire required more than 1,000 decks of cards to construct.  That’s about 140 pounds of cards for one tower alone.  A common question I get about this project is if the tower is a replica of some very tall building.  The answer is that it is just a design I came up with, and that’s half the fun.  A tower like this could be built in an endless array of designs.LGGuinness World Record Television CommercialLG contacted me to say that they had developed a washing machine that boasts minimal vibrations, and they were not kidding.  To make their point in a very dramatic and visual way, LG and I embarked on a unique challenge to create a Guinness World Record on top of an actual, loaded, spinning, washing machine.  First, they overnighted me a washer to try building on it at home.  Yes, a whole washing machine was sent to me in the US all the way from their production facility in Korea so I could make sure it would work as a cardstacking surface.  Then, they flew me to Seoul to build with a film crew in a massive studio for the commercial.  I was impressed because this washer, even when packed full with wet socks, doesn’t really even vibrate.  How’d they do it?  Who knows.  But, the final project set a new Guinness Record and was featured as a television commercial all across Europe.  They even had engineers onsite to get the washer to run continuously, 24 hours a day, filled with wet clothes throughout the build and the shoot.  (In my line of work, I have received a lot of hairspraying from my clients over the years before appearing on tv, but this was one of the most extreme hairspray encounters I’ve had so far.)  I love this project because it is a great example of how creative marketing can get, and how a product improvement can be told through a story that must be seen to be believed.  The commercial proved so successful that LG invited me back to do a live, scaled-down version several times a day (on top of a running washer of course) at IFA, the massive European consumer electronics show in Berlin, Germany.Venetian MacaoGuinness World RecordThe Venetia
