What does the role of ‘snake charmer’ do exactly? It’s a title we often hear about every now and then but never quite know was it entails because how an earth are you actually supposed to get a venomous snake to like you?
Well, Ali Khan Samsudin probably thought he had the answer as he regularly performed a whole host of stunts with cobras and made a good living doing so. In one stunt, he even locked himself in a room with 400 cobras for 40 days straight. Unfortunately, one cobra thought he was a bit of a douche and decided to fatally bite Samsudin in 2006. Lesson learned: Quit while you’re ahead.
