Domino day and domino art.


[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

Domino Day is a world-record attempt to topple the most number of dominoes. Each year it is led by Robin Paul Weijers, who is known as "Mr. Domino." He is from the Netherlands and owns Weijers Domino Productions, which holds the current Guinness world record for toppling the most number of dominoes. Every year on Domino Day, teams of domino lovers from around the world work together on domino sculptures where they make detailed designs for the purpose of setting it up just right so that all the dominoes in the display will fall in a chain reaction caused by toppling just one starting domino. They start building the sculptures in advance, but topple them on Domino Day.
