Düsseldorf, Germany – Travelers at Düsseldorf Airport (DUS) can easily get to the New York skyline on one of the many direct flights to New York City from Germany’s third largest airport, but now, until the end of February 2015, they can also see the skyline inside the airport’s terminal building. American master card stacker Bryan Berg recreated the beloved US city’s skyline at DUS from more than 103,000 playing cards, which brings a piece of New York City to everyone who passes through the terminal building.
It took Berg, who is a Guinness World Record holder in card stacking, 14 days to stack more than 270 pounds of cards into the shapes of the Empire State, Chrysler, and Flatiron Buildings, Rockefeller Center, Yankee Stadium, and many other of New York City’s iconic buildings and landmarks – even the Statue of Liberty. The Empire State Building alone consists of 19,440 playing cards and weighs about 50 pounds. The tallest of all of the buildings in Berg’s card city is an almost 10-foot replica of the new Freedom Tower built on the site of the former World Trade Center.
Berg used no glue or other tools in his card stacking masterpiece, which sits inside a large glass cube of more than 320 square feet. Passengers and visitors were able to watch Berg stacking the cards , and the skyline remains on display until the end of February 2014.
