Sergei was blind at age 14 from a mistake of his own. Due to hyperactivity, the boy thought of making a shotgun and then tried it out. The gun exploded in his hand, a bullet flew into his left eye and hurt Sergei's skull. Doctors believe that this boy will not survive, but he has overcome it despite suffering permanent blindness.

No longer seeing the light, but Sergei Fetisov did not surrender to fate, he lived and worked with a strong energy. He joined the Russian Association of the Blind, learning to read books in Braille and undertaking the work of the shipper. A few years ago, on a chance occasion, Sergei discovered he had a special ability. A woman came to the Blind Association to teach blind people to distinguish colors by touch. Most people in the guild could not tell the color from her card, only Sergei could distinguish it. After a period of persistent training, Sergei is adept at distinguishing colors by touching an object.

However, not everyone believes Sergei's special ability, even his close friends are skeptical about the ability to distinguish colors with these fingers. They often find opportunities to try out his skills.

Once, an acquaintance came to test Sergei about her hair color. Sergei took hold of his hair, held it in his hand for a long time without saying exactly what color. After that, he said awkwardly: "Actually my hair has many colors . It is strange that it is red, white and black". Hearing that, the woman laughed. She said that she dyed her hair with many colors not long ago. And Sergei was right about the colors of those weird hair colors.

Not long after, Sergei surprised everyone when he revealed some other abilities, such as being able to "see" the aura of a person and say where he is suffering. He stressed that he could not diagnose the disease but only felt when the opposite person had a headache or toothache. He saw the halo by touching the object. " Each person's light is different, but it is never monochromatic. Good aura is bright, yellow or red, and the aura is black or brown, " he explained.

Sergei thinks he is not a wizard. According to him, people sometimes reveal a special skill after suffering a serious injury. Currently, Sergei takes every opportunity to travel and sports activities such as swimming and jogging. Playing chess is his new hobby. He can use normal pieces to play because they distinguish their colors with their fingers.

The chief of the blindness recovery test, Andrey Bannikov, said that the fingers of the blind have a very high sensitivity. They can read books in Braille very quickly, some people can read worn letters, but using the distinguishing fingers of color is something he had never heard before. None of the 202,000 blind people of the guild could prove this special talent, except Sergei Fetisov. And this capacity of him may be related to the mystical realm that humans have not deciphered.
