Bryan Berg

Six-star book! This far surpasses amazing. The author, Brian Berg, when he was 17, got into the Guinness Book of World Records for building from cards alone a tower 14.5 feet tall. Since then he travels the world building card structures as entertainment. The ending is always the same, he gets to knock them down. As he says, if he didn't knock the structure down - which may have taken weeks to build - no-one would believe it was cards alone, no tricks, no glue.
