I am assuming you know all about convection currents, heat conduction and heat radiation etc. yes?
Candles give off heat. If you put a lit candle below a spiral, the convection currents creeated by the heat from the candle cause the spiral to spin and so on.
The three heat movements can probably be explained using a candle.
