Short Biography
Prince Randian (sometimes misspelled Rardion or Randion; October 12, 1874 – December 19, 1934), also known as The Snake Man, The Living Torso, The Human Caterpillar and a variety of other names, was a Guyanese performer with tetra-amelia syndrome and a famous limbless sideshow performer of the early 1900s, best known for his ability to roll cigarettes with his lips. He was reportedly brought to the United States by P.T. Barnum in 1889 and was a popular carnival and circus attraction for 45 years. Prince Randian can be seen in the 1932 film Freaks, in which he is seen performing his cigarette trick.
