What book is it where an Indian man can see with his eyes blindfolded or even closed?

bandedcat10: What book is it where an Indian man can see with his eyes blindfolded or even closed?
I read this book quite some time ago. I remember that he would practice by closing his eyes and sitting in front of a lit candle and eventually he could see the flame. I believe the first portion of the book his entire head was covered in cloth and he rode a bicycle around to prove he could still see.

It’s one of the six stories in The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More by Roald Dahl.

from this I discern that it might be the wonderful story of Henry Sugar as well. I know because I read it like five times when I was in elementary.

Roald Dahl’s short story The Wonderful World of Henry Sugar. There was a real person, Kuda Bux, that influenced Dahl to write the story.
