Liu Fei survives to perform another day after pulling a snake through his nose and out of his mouth.
Hailing from Jiangxi Province in east China, Fei has been captivating audiences with his death-defying act for the past 30 years – what a charmer.
On occasion, the 53-year-old opts to showcase his skills using not just one, but two 3ft snakes.
However, the path of the snake swallower hasn’t been entirely without peril – Fei has faced several near-disasters, the most alarming being the time he accidentally swallowed one.
Fortunately, the snake perished in his stomach before it could inflict any harm.
Indeed, he seems to live a charmed life.
