Snake charmer dies from king cobra bite while demonstrating his skills to villagers

A snake charmer, known as Norjani, tragically succumbed to a king cobra's bite while demonstrating his "magic skills" to villagers.   The black magic shaman had captured the massive reptile a week earlier in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. He had kept it secured in his wooden hut for "traditional medicine" before unveiling it to the neighbors on January 25, 2020.   In a circulating video, Norjani is seen taunting the king cobra.
