The world’s largest house of cards was built only to be torn down. Modelled after the world’s largest casino, the Venetian Macau, the replica made up of 218,792 playing cards took 44 days to build. American architect Bryan Berg broke his own Guinness world record and then destroyed the structure in a matter of minutes.
