A Pakistani snake charmer is wowing crowds by putting live snakes through his nose and taking them out from his mouth.

Iqbal Jogi, 30, performs the bizarre act for students in schools and curious crowds at weddings. Jogi, who hails from a village outside Karachi in Pakistan, has been performing the tricky act for the past 12 years.

The snake swallower takes out the slippery reptile – which measure up to two-feet long – and pushes it through his nose before letting it slither out of his mouth alive.

For each performance, Iqbal makes roughly £5 and despite knowing the perils, he continues performing it for a living. He says,

I pray before every performance that the snake doesn’t kill me and I stay alive so I can perform the next day.
