My experience:

I saw a big fireball like the explosions in movies but it was smaller.

I felt nervous at first but I ended it really quickly so I ended up being calm after the fire.

I didn't smell anything when it was my turn but with other I smelt a burning wood kind of smell.

I heard the 'wows' of the class and the comments. I also heard the lighter turning on and starting the fire.
