The internet exposes us to some of the most unexpected and unusual content imaginable. Take, for instance, this viral video showcasing a man purportedly ‘hypnotizing’ a snake—a sight that leaves viewers both intrigued and bewildered. Shared widely on Instagram, the video begins with the man crouching near a menacing Cobra, intensely staring at each other.
As the snake moves closer, the man maintains an unwavering gaze. After a tense stare-off, he slowly moves his hand towards the snake, which surprisingly remains still. With a swift motion, he gently guides the snake’s head to the side and eventually grasps it from behind—a move that catches everyone off guard.
Notably, the man holds an unusually designed cane throughout, with a Cobra’s body intricately coiled around it, adding to the mystique of the scene. As he continues to purportedly hypnotize the snake, wisps of smoke lightly escape from his mouth, adding to the surreal ambiance of the encounter.

Netizens have expressed their reactions in the comments.

Some users noted that snakes have poor eyesight and rely on their tongues to sense their surroundings. Another user explained that the heat from the man’s smoking pipe confused the snake, leading to its capture. The video has received over 156,000 likes and has garnered more than 5.4 million views on the platform so far.
