dermo-optical perception (DOP)
Dermo-optical perception (DOP) is the alleged ability to "see" without using the eyes. DOP is a conjurer's trick, often involving elaborate blindfolding rituals, but always leaving a pathway (usually down the side of the nose), which allows for unobstructed vision.
See also extraordinary human function.
