How to Build a Cool House of Cards

Just a little mini-architecture I came up with. (I'm sure I'm not the first.)

Full disclosure: Some shots, including the triangle on top were played in reverse for speed of the demonstration.

Sooooooooooo helpful! I saw this one vid where a guy did the white house with this technique instead of teepees and I could not for the life of me figure out how he did it. This is so much better than v's and it just so happens I have an assload of magic cards! Thanks for your help.

[JoeFelice]

Not really, they're just holding their own weight

its way harder with those plastic cards use regulaer cards its way eisier i started with baseball cards from the ninetys. they were all fuzzy on the end which made it eieser.
