Malaysian Snake Prince Sets Daring Record

It's uncertain how long it took Amjad Khan from Malaysia to practice this 'trick'. But one thing is undeniable: at just 27 years old, he knows no fear. On a televised series titled 'The World's Most Talented', Khan showcased his extraordinary 'skills' by kissing (!) a deadly cobra. 

Throughout Malaysia, Khan is recognized by locals as the 'Snake Prince', thanks to his phenomenal ability to mesmerize the snake—a skill reportedly demonstrated since he was just a year old. The unusual stunt began with none other than Khan's father, who used to show off his own feats on a different series—tragically, he was bitten to death during a show in Kuala Lumpur by a cobra he tried to charm. 

Today, the son continues performing these stunts with the same species of snake that claimed his father's life. Watch the video and share your thoughts.
