Him losing his sight from 9 makes sense now. I seen the blind youtuber who has been blind since birth and he does not keep his eyes open because he never needed to and does not probably know what it looks like but to me it is interesting why would one keep his eyes open (when not needed) and why other does not, but loosing sight after 9 years of life which is already plenty, he probably knows that visually open eyes look better - even if it takes a little muscle work to keep them that way.

They met probably for a couple of hours once a month or so, and Taylor would demonstrate his stuff and Vernon would say, no, boy , this looks too stiff, too unnatural. He would put his hands on Taylor's hands and demonstrate the flow of movement as it ideally ought to be. Then Taylor would put in a few thousand hours of practice, probably a couple of months, and show the Professor his results. Then the Professor would suggest the next thing and on and on they'd go. Until Taylor started suggesting stuff that was too mind boggling for the almost 100 years old Vernon even to imagine :)

A non blind person looks at exactly what they're doing and who they're talking to based on where "its" at and how far away someone is from them. Just because you believe he had to "train" to do that, well let me tell you, WE ALL DID. I'm doing it right now. A shceister who has perfect vision can say the exact same thing. I've seen several of his videos. Why does a blind man need a wrist watch? "Oh, its to make him look like he not blind." Well that just defeats the purpose of his whole act, doesn't it, which is, he's blind. If you think he's totally blind and cannot see at all, I have some ocean front property in Kansas you may be interested in.
