Foundation     blindfold vision This is a conjuring trick often
done by mentalists. It consists of the performer being
blindfolded——often with tape, opaque metal masks, and/or
bandages——and then accomplishing various feats such as reading,
writing, negotiating an obstacle course, or driving a vehicle,
apparently without the use of sight. It has also been called
Eyeless Vision, the name given it by Dr. Harlan Tarbell, a well-
known writer on conjuring techniques.       The very effective
trick has been taken up with great success by the psychics, who
of course say that when they do it, it's not a trick.
