Chasing the name of a book I read in approx 1983 (in yr 8) at school?

The story was about a guy who comes across a book that tells him how to focus his mind by looking into the flame of a candle and can see through obstacles %26gt; the man in the book superglued his eyes shut to prove that he could use his mind to look anywhere. Convinced himself to make himself alot of money so he trained himself up, focused on the candle, learnt how to extend his mind to read/look into things that you normally wouldnt see. He got to the stage he could close his eyes and see further. He made alot of money from casinos in different disguises. When it came to using the money he couldnt do it. He gave the money away to charity. He started using his new powers for charity work, travelling around the world.

the story of henry sugar. it usually comes in a collection called"the story of henry sugar and six more". it is by roald dahl. the other stories in the bok are about a kid who talks to animals, a kid with wings and so on. but this book is the best. btw, henry sugar finds out about this, not from a book that teaches you how to do tht, but from the account of a doctor who met a guy who could do that.
