What others have said is true (touch the status bar and then use three fingers). There is another way, and it is rather tricky. If you touch the bottom center of the screen, just above the home button, and leave your finger there, you will here two rising tones, like the first two tones you hear when you double tap and hold. Once you hear those two tones, move your finger straight up and hte Control Center should open. It takes practice, but it is definitely doable. Likewise, to open the Notification Center, touch at the top center of the screen and wait for the tones, then drag your finger down. Note that these gestures use one finger, not three.
