Nashville, Tennessee: Elvis Fortune Teller and Jukebox Guitar

Fortune Teller Elvis is right down the street from the Willie Nelson machine, both in tourist shops. He's in the middle of the store, and is the same modern make of fortune machines as the Willie's. Both are worth the dollar...

Legends Gift Shop in downtown Nashville not only sells a treasure trove of tacky souvenirs, but has a couple cool coin operated novelty machines. The first one literally called out to me with a poor Elvis impersonation - a "The King Tells Y'All" fortune teller.

For a couple quarters you get to hear The King's wise words and watch in awe as a mannequin in his likeness moves floppy rubber hands over a plastic crystal ball before your fortune drops out.

In the middle of the store is an acoustic guitar in a glass case. For 50 cents it will play one of a couple dozen songs with mechanical hammers that pluck the strings. It played "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" for me. They also have a cartoonish lifesized Elvis you can pose with outside, and if you look on the roof from across the street you'll see The King up there as well.
