Q&A for How to Build a House of Cards

If you're balancing them on top of a shaped structure, try licking the bottom edge. It really works to help them stick.

First, get two cards. Then hold one card in your right hand with your index finger and thumb and the other card in your left hand with your index finger and thumb (use middle finger if needed). Then all you need to do is lean them up against each other to make the ^ shape. Just make sure your base is large, stay calm, and keep trying!

Use thin triangles, they are sturdier and they can be spaced out easier.

That can work, but if they touch each other, it's easier to knock them over. It's better to do thin, slightly spaced out triangles.

Yes, it is. It is really easy because it uses simple triangles, and they are pretty sturdy.

Hold the first card as you add on the second, then shift to holding the second as you're adding the third, and so on.

What you should do is hold onto cards until you find the balance point.

To make your house of cards sturdy, make sure you are building it on a firm foundations. To make it extra sturdy, try gluing the cards together to make the house stronger. Once you glue them together, you can build it however tall you want. Note that this makes it difficult to play go fish with the cards after.

Put them under a heavy book and leave for at least and hour, if that doesn’t work try very lightly spraying with water then putting the book on top.
