| Description: | SNAKE CHARMER MARRAKECH Snake charmer with two snakes in market place entertaining a crowd. VS group of local Arab people gathered around snake charmer in the market place. He performs with two snakes. The snake charmer in robe and turban picks up snake, talks to crowd. He sticks his tongue out and holds snake's head close to it, puts snake (black with white under side) around his neck and crouches down. Cobra in circular container with neck held up by charmer. He does a bit with a cobra in a basket lid, but the snake doesn't stand up on its tail on its own. The act is more the guy just holding up the snake and rolling his (own) head around. Charmer moves his head around while holding snake up to the crowd. Various shots of charmer picking up snake, pan to two musicians with rudimentary instruments. 2 young men play a pipe and a percussion instrument (like tambourine without the metal parts). | |
