Maybe it's a variation on AN and has something to do with the high collar in his suits.

Many wonderful, creative and hilarious guesses!
Thanks very much to all who have contributed to this thread so far. No one has yet correctly guessed the reason the effect is named The Elvis Peek. Two more days to go |

Could it be a connection with Elvis Costello? One of his major songs was Miracle Man and, by performing this peek, you could well be dubbed a Miracle Man!

Elvis Peek-A-Boo? |

Because Elvis claimed to have been telepathically visited by aliens when he was a child?
That, or something to do with Bubba Ho-Tep. |

Because there have been many impersonators but only one "the best"?

Stunninger's pet is called Elvis and just as he regards his pet with affection, he has great affection for his new and obviously very good peek.

A further thought.
Could it be that to secure the peek you have to tilt the card to give you an 'elevated vision' of the required information, and with Elvis standing for 'el'evated 'vis'ion. Clutching at straws here but seeing no-one appears to have cracked this conundrum, just a thought. Or maybe Stunninger's middle name is Elvis? It will be interesting to find out the answer - and thanks Stunninger for such an entertaining thread and, I am sure, excellent release. Neil |

Elvis Presley is an anagram of Sly Live Peers - Sly because it's sneaky, Live because you do it in real time, Peers because you get the chance to really peer at the info.

Bill very kindly has given me a peek of The Elvis Peek and it has proved a real delight.
The moves, such as they are, are very clean and straightforward. I have never been one for sleights or like being rushed in seeing and reading the required information. The Elvis Peek suits me fine. Not only do you get the information in a very subtle way but can read it at your leisure. It is mentalism that I like - kept simple but highly effective. But this is not all. Watching the explanation was instructive as well as a brilliant masterclass in presentation. The patter and what you tell the spectator really helps to elevate the effect. It just shows how a little more thought to how we present effects can make so much difference. As I wrote earlier, this proved a real delight - not just the actual very full peek and clean way it is obtained but also what I learnt in how to present (including a fact Bill gave.) Thanks to the conundrum of why this is called The Elvis Peek, it has already generated a lot of interest. But unlike some releases which have generated a lot of interest and then disappointed, this won't. The Elvis Peek is a first class peek, deceptive, straightforward, clear and, importantly, with the suggested presentation, is a brilliant piece of theatre and entertainment. Thank you Bill, and well done. Neil |
