Sorry, I tried to get a photo of it but wasn't too successful. The effect was similar to this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ct9VVOYcbyc The nutmeg was a dud for me - no noticeable sparks. I produce my nutmeg from a whole nut, run over a microplane to generate powder as needed. The nutmeg wasn't as fine as my cinnamon, so that may have some effect on this. The cinnamon made some cool sparks though as expected. I tried shaking the cinnamon onto the fire directly from the shaker, and a lot of the cinnamon ended up on my bar. It would have ruined any drink with excess cinnamon. I had better luck taking off the shaker top and using my fingers to sprinkle a pinch directly over the flame.
