The House of Playing Cards carried a book on the subject - their most popular, in fact; it was frequently out of stock.  It's cool beans, dude!

I find it fascinating how they do this. Can you imagine how steady your hands would have to be.  DON'T NOBODY BREATHE!!!

It's extremely tough if he's not bending or tearing any of the cards.  Some card house builders will do that to build structural supports for increased stability.

These look so awesome, I truly doubt I have the patience to achieve anything like this without the help of a lot of glue...

There's a topic on here somewhere where Tom Dawson posted pictures regarding the above. I can't find that topic.
It's absolutely stunning though.

He wrote about it because he got a prominent card house builder to come to a 52+J convention a while back.  I think.  Maybe he tried getting him and couldn't?  Damn, my memory sucks...

Here is the book I mentioned.  Apparently the proper term for these artists is "card architect".  It's out of stock at HOPC.
