Meet a Pakistani snake charmer who entertains his spectators by inserting venomous reptiles into his nose and pulling them out from his mouth. Igbal Jogi is a professional snake swallower, who has been performing the jaw-dropping trick for the past 12 years. And although he makes roughly $8 dollars for each performance he is not going to stop, as it’s the only way he can feed his big family, five daughters and three sons.
Speaking about the perils his occupation holds Jogi said:
I am proud of my talent. Of course I know it involves huge risk but I feel good when people anxiously wait to see if the snake would come out and scream in excitement when they see both the snake and me alive. Once, it was about to come out when the venomous snake bit me.
The 30-year-old is a renowned snake-charmer, he travels around nearby villages and shows his unusual talent at weddings and other local celebrations. Iqbal, who performs his dangerous stunts on a daily basis, wants to get national recognition for his talent and he definitely deserves it.
