Get the pulling a shaggy mug.Everyone is familiar with the story of Casey Jones who up at bat because of his massive ego deliberately let two strikes get by him before he (presumably) would made a home run, but he didn't. He struck out on the last one.
"Pulling a Casey" in this case is used as an action of swindling. It simply means to deliberately flounder, mess up, or make deliberate mistakes in the beginning of a game to encourage competitors and gamblers into thinking they have an easy win.
When in fact their opponent is quite skilled in the area of interest and is waiting for real money to arrive before they show off their incredible and stunning skill at the cost of everyone involved.
It's appropriate in settings of gambling like playing pool or even the shell game.
In the shell game the dealer pulls a Casey with the new players by letting them win a couple of bucks by finding the pea easily enough under the shell.
But the dealer knows full well they're going to bet more and try to win more - and that's when the swindle comes in. Once they have won their confidence on how "easy" the game is.
Pulling a Casey in a game of table pool for instance can show a pool-shark deliberately make bad moves like miss sinking balls and even scratching the cue to encourage bets.
And then after a few bad shots once there is real money involved - that's when the shark plays for keeps and takes the competitors and bets for all they are worth, hustling them for all their money.

I was totalling 'Pulling a Mojang' on my kids the other year. I told them in the fall of 2019 they were getting their coolest birthday presents ever. Too bad they don't know they're actually getting them in the winter of 2022.
