What it says on the tin

Dominoes and Fire. That's it. Just dominoes toppling, mostly thanks to creative application of flames and explosions.
This is exactly the thing I needed to not show my son until he's old enough to vote

Time to go searching through antique shops for nitrocellulose dominoes.

for some reason, I came expecting exploding pizza... nice variation on a theme though.

I was thinking it would be a political thread . . . It is sure timely.

That was much better than I expected. I'm a fan of Rube Goldberg and domino toppling type stuff. Often these are very showy or include loads of pieces but aren't really clever or interesting. This was a good one. The waving paper and dripping candle were my favorites.

So many jump cuts, kinda ruins the domino effect for me.

The second half of the video repeats all the same tricks without jump cuts.

Boggling at having the sort of time necessary to construct these things. The planning, the precision involved in setting up each part, the knowledge required - just, *explosion sound*... Well done!
And here, I feel lucky if I don't cause a chain reaction like that on the highway, most days. Ha.

Was disappoint.
I really wanted lots of booming and shaking and more sparklers.

More sparklers? Those things were killing me with anticipation. Hurry up stupid sparkler! Make the next thing happen already.
