Hoho — the ol’ look up here trick, I always fall for that.

This is a video of a Malaysian soldier demonstrating his snake charming skills by subduing a king cobra. He didn’t even have to play the pungi! A pungi is the– “Wind instrument made from reeds and a gourd that snake charmers play?” You really are a smart cookie, you know that? Did you also know the venom of a king cobra is powerful enough to kill a person in as little as thirty minutes if the proper antivenin isn’t administered quickly enough? I happen to know that personally because I’m not nearly as good as this guy.

Keep going for the video.
