A Domino show is created by setting up dominoes in a long line to create a chain reaction also called the domino effect. Only the first domino should be toppled by hand. People all over the world try to set up incredible domino projects. The building is very risk full and therefore the show is very exciting. Everybody understands that every new set up domino is another new risk.
Using dominoes in different colour the domino builders are able to create beautiful mosaics with them. Also the dominoes can have a different top and back colours which means that the domino have different colours before and after toppling. Using this techniques the domino builders are able to make pictures (mosaics) appear.
The Netherlands has hosted an annual domino toppling exhibition called Domino Day since 1986. Their current world record was set at 4,079,381 stones on November 17, 2006.
The only professional domino show company in the world is Weijers Domino Productions. Beside domino builders they employ professional designers, developers and engineers. Their domino shows are used for product introductions, campaign launches and commercial adverts.
