A Cobra Slithers Into the Crowd, Nearly Bites the Audience

A cobra slithered into the crowd at a show - coming within inches of biting audience members. The video clip shows the ‘snake charmer’ performing his act with the notoriously deadly snake. He lies on the floor inching in, the man kisses the cobra on the mouth. But as the crowd applauds his bizarre act, the charmer pulls the snake by the tail and enters the crowd, only to have the snake to follow.

The huge snake lurches over the low barrier, the crowd can be seen fleeing in panic as it lunges over coming within inches of biting a crowd member. With seconds to spare, the charmer quickly grabs the snake’s midriff and hauls it back into the centre of the ring.
