Since the time of Robert-Houdin, the blindfold act has been one of magic and mentalism's most astounding feats - and for good reason. The apparent ability to see without the use of the eyes never fails to astonish an intelligent audience. However, the degree of astonishment is always directly proportional to the seeming impossibility of the conditions.

Long unavailable, Richard Osterlind's Stainless Steel Blindfold revolutionized blindfold work when it was first introduced as it offered the magic and mentalism communities an almost perfect method for apparent Sightless Vision. This blindfold was a quantum leap over previous blindfold methods. Though it was able to stand up to rigorous examination by spectators who could find no clue to its diabolical secret, it still afforded the performer with almost full vision instantly.
