Meet the Artist
Ricardo Ardito
With over 15 years of experience, Ricardo Ardito is one of the UK’s most experienced professional domino artists. Starting with the classic dotted 28-packs of dominoes, I began experimenting with toppling dominoes in a chain-reaction fashion. This led to owning wooden dominoes crafted for toppling, to advancing into a collection of over 20,000 precision-engineered dominoes specifically for toppling.
Under the title of ‘Ricardo’s Dominoes’, my YouTube and TikTok presence has been wildly successful, combining over 30 MILLION views total, and also gaining traction from brands and creating custom domino art relating to themes. One being a psychological test for children on Channel 4’s Secret Life of Four Year Olds, a Domino’s Pizza advert for ITV Hub, BT Sport’s Rugby World Cup coverage - just to name a few.
My experience and expertise within the world of domino toppling is unique to Topple Academy, meaning you’re in safe hands when creating your own projects at all events. I personally run every single event which takes place under Topple Academy!
Ricardo Ardito and the dominoes are also available for custom domino art requests.
