The Kansas City Shuffle

The Kansas City Shuffle: a "Kansas City Shuffle" is a most clever deception, one that requires thought on the part of the inciter and great ignorance on the part of the deceived. The primary goal of the Kansas City Shuffle is to catch one completely off-guard and unaware so that trickery can take place.

The movie Lucky Number Sleven's plot was an example of The Kansas City Shuffle at its best.
