A Guinness record holder is using his unusual talent to recreate Olympic landmarks with playing cards as a way to celebrate the Beijing Games.

Brian Berg stacks up ordinary playing cards to build extraordinary replicas of Beijing's iconic Olympic landmarks.

Berg has turned 140,000 cards into the National Stadium, the National Aquatics Center and the Beijing CCTV Tower. And that's without any glue or adhesive.

Many passing by are stopped in their tracks by his breathtaking work and amazing skill.

Berg is a Guinness world record holder for building a card tower 25 feet 10 inches tall. He has also recreated Cinderella's castle and the skyline of New York City.

But he ran into some challenges in his Olympic project, especially with Beijing's National Stadium.
