Operate Like A Visually Impaired Individual And Stun Everyone

by Guest Author on August 30, 2010

You may need to appear to be a blind man during acting or just pretend to be blind to trick your friends. Mimicking a blind man is not so simple. It won’t be wrong to say that it’s mainly a skill. If you want to pretend to be a blind man, then there are certain things without which this cannot be done. The first item that you will require for this act is a cane which resembles the telescoping handles of telescoping hand carts.

Other things to support your performance could be moderate-sized black sunglasses along with light grey contacts. If you ever saw a blind man, then you will be familiar that grey lenses or the ones lighter than your real eye color will put up a nice show. The next point is a really critical one, in which you have to practice with all these things. You can begin practicing the walk initially by using a white cane. The usual procedure that you have to follow is swaying back and forth. You can experience some issues in the starting and in order to avoid them, you can try in a space that does not have any delicate objects.

The eyes must be closed in a way as if you are trying to relax. Moreover, the cane has to be held in your left hand in such a manner that the other point reaches the ground. Ensure you are only touching the ground with the cane and not forcing it to the ground. Move the cane in a semi circle lightly just ahead of you which is the usual motion that a visually impaired man follows in order to avoid any nearby obstacles that the stick hits. When your cane touches an obstacle, keep the cane closer to it and try to walk over or around the obstacle. You will be able to get a complete understanding on this kind of walking only after a certain amount of practice.

If you thought of bringing the actual feel of a visually impaired person, then putting on contacts can be a good option. Try them on and look at yourself in the reflection. Lightly shut your eyes and look at how your eyes move when your eyelids are hiding them. Try to follow the similar movement of your eyes after opening them, only this time it will be a quicker and a more relaxed one. For giving a more real look, you can try sunglasses and perform the whole thing by wearing them, practice turns you perfect.

For a last rehearsal, sit in front of a table with your eyes shut and a plastic mug or object on the table. Take a deep breath and relax for a minute and begin to touch around the table until you get that cup, however, you should make sure not to overdo or exaggerate this part. An act that is nearer to the real life is more attractive to the people. So do things moderately and prevent overdoing them.

Connor R. Sullivan recently purchased a couple of telescoping hand carts on the internet to help his aging mother and father transport their groceries. His wife ordered a couple of hand carts with telescoping handles online to use for an upcoming trip to transport luggage.
