Testing Peeks

I have a number of very strong revelations for peeked information, but I don't have what I would consider to be a perfect peek. I think it's very difficult to know with any certainty what an audience will find suspicious when it comes to a peek. Last year I did some testing where the audience could register as they watched a performance when they thought something fishy was going on. They did this via swiping up and down on an iphone to register their suspicion. Swiping up meant they were skeptical about what was going on, swiping down meant they were believing what they were seeing. It's like those dials they give people to watch the presidential debates and register if they agree or disagree with what the candidates are saying. What we had after this testing was a little seismograph of audience suspicion that we could play along with the performance and see exactly where they were calling bullshit in their minds as they watched the performance. This may seem like a lot of effort to go to, and it was, but I've been on the lookout for a perfect peek for years now and I knew doing this would point me in that direction, or at least let me know what techniques I should avoid.
The main thing I learned from this testing is that if you want to avoid suspicion you can't ever look in the area where the information supposedly is. This may seem beyond obvious, but many peeks do just that.
For example, putting a card with an unknown word on it in your wallet raised suspicion slightly. If you then re-open that wallet to get something, suspicion goes off the chart. (And this is the exact choreography of a number of peek wallets.) The problem is, unless you draw undue attention to it, the spectator's aren't focusing on the layout of your wallet. So they will remember you putting it in, but when you go back to your wallet they don't remember if you put it in a section that somehow precluded you from seeing the other side, so they'll just assume that's what you're doing.
Similarly, if you tear up a billet with your head clearly facing left and your hands outstretched to the right, there is little suspicion. But if you even glance at the pieces in the process, the action is completely suspect. It was disheartening to watch people be unimpressed by world-class mentalists peeking the word in real time as they tore up the card. Then to watch those same people get fooled by my friend who would tear up the card (eyes tightly closed, head facing the opposite direction), and drop the pieces in the spectator's hands to go flush down the toilet, then take all the time he needed to read the word on the stolen piece while they were in the bathroom.
So that principle, as basic and obvious as it may sound, is what guides me when looking for a new peek. The one you'll read below isn't perfect, but it's one of my new favorites.
The $10 Peek Wallet
A month or so ago, my friend showed up with a new peek wallet. It cost him ten dollars and it was pretty much the dumbest, simplest peek wallet you could imagine. But its simplicity allowed me to come up with what I found to be a very disarming handling for it.
The wallet comes with The Ultimate Networking Tool. I do not have a clue of what the Ultimate Networking Tool is, but I do know that the package includes this wallet and it's 10 bucks total. What do you have to lose?
I should mention that it's not an actual wallet. Like it doesn't hold cash. It's meant to hold business cards. But it's not unlike the type of wallet I do often use in my everyday life which is designed to hold a few credit cards (I just keep my cash in pocket).
My Handling
You should have your license in the peek area and a couple credit cards and a business card in the wallet.
You take the business card out of your wallet and have your friend write whatever you plan to reveal on it. You're turned away throughout this. When she's done you turn back to her and say, "Hold it between... actually... hand it to me...." And you take the card and put it in the wallet (sliding it under your license and leaving a couple millimeters hanging out so it can be removed easily).
Justifying the Wallet
People are always looking for a justification for putting the card back into the wallet. I don't know that anyone has found a good reason for this. So instead of giving a rationale (which might come off as bullshitty), you're going to imply one. And since you're not actually stating it outright, there's nothing for your audience to push back against. They're not going to call you out on a rationale that they themselves have concocted in their mind.
The implication you make is that you were first just going to ask them to hold the card between their hands, then you "decide" to put it in the wallet as something of an extra barrier. You then have her put the wallet between her hands. And then you place your hands on either side of hers. The wallet is now just one of many layers of protection between you and the card.
What makes this so disarming is that you're handing the wallet in the "peekable" state to your spectator immediately after you put the card in. And getting the peek as you do so. In action this looks like this (except placed onto the spectator's hand, and not your own):
Exploring the World of PEEK Advanced Polymer Unveiling the Wonders of PEEK Material and its Polymerization Process
In the world of advanced polymers, one material that stands out for its exceptional properties and versatility is PEEK. Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer that has revolutionized various industries due to its unique combination of mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. PEEK has found its way into countless products and technologies, from aerospace to medical applications. This article will delve deep into the world of PEEK advanced polymer, exploring its characteristics, applications, and the fascinating process behind its polymerization.
What is PEEK?
PEEK is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic belonging to the polyaryletherketones family (PAEK). It was first developed in 1978 by Victrex plc., a leading manufacturer of high-performance polymers. The molecular structure of PEEK consists of repeating units containing an aromatic ketone group connected by ether linkages. This unique structure gives rise to remarkable properties that set it apart from other polymers.
Key Characteristics of PEEK
The Polymerization Process
The synthesis of PEEK involves a two-step process: nucleophilic substitution reaction followed by polycondensation. Let’s explore each step in detail:

Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction
In the first step, 4,4’-difluorobenzophenone (DFBPA) reacts with bisphenol-A (BPA) in the presence of an alkali metal base catalyst such as potassium carbonate (K2CO3). This reaction leads to the intermediate diphenyl ether ketone (DPEK) formation.
Chemical Equation:
DFBPA + 2 BPA + 2 K2CO3 → DPEK + 4 KF + CO2
Polycondensation
The second step involves the polycondensation reaction, where DPEK undergoes further polymerization to form long chains of PEEK. This process is typically carried out under high temperatures (>300°C) and vacuum conditions to facilitate the removal of volatile by-products.
Chemical Equation:
n DPEK → [PEEK]n + n phenol
It is important to note that water molecules are generated as a by-product during this process, which can hinder molecular weight development if it is not removed effectively.
Applications of PEEK
Due to its exceptional properties, PEEK has found widespread use in various industries. Let’s explore some of its critical applications:
Aerospace and Defense
PEEK is widely used in aerospace and defense due to its lightweight nature, high strength, and chemical resistance. It is used in components such as brackets, connectors, seals, and electrical insulation.
