Kansas City Shuffle

Kansas City Shuffle

The first appearance of the term is in the 1926 song "Kansas City Shuffle" by jazz pianist Bennie Moten. It was recorded in Chicago, Illinois and released on the Victor record label.

The song refers to an advanced form of confidence game employing misdirection, subterfuge, and playing on the "mark(s)" arrogance and/or self-loathing. The relevance to a direction stated at the beginning of a situation has no bearing to the outcome.

Kansas City Shuffle in popular culture

* The storyline of the 2006 film "Lucky Number Slevin" utilizes a Kansas City Shuffle as the primary plot device. The song (this version performed by J. Ralph) plays at the end of "Lucky Number Slevin", revealing the origin of Goodkat's (Bruce Willis) plan.
* There is anecdotal evidence that the Kansas City Chiefs utilized a defensive move called the "Kansas City Shuffle" when they played in the American Football League prior to the National Football League merger. Purportedly, it became obsolete as teams altered their offensive strategies to prove themselves against it. Fact|date=February 2007
