A Kansas city shuffle is the action of taking one's identity and getting rid of that person who now has your identity. So basically your old identity is dead and there is a body to prove it, but you continue living your life as someone else.
You owe bad people money. You take someone else's identity and live a new life by moving elsewhere. You kill the other guy and leave the corpse in your own appartement a bit disfigured with your own IDs. Everyone will believe you got killed and your own identity stops here.

When you take a goat and put its back legs in your rubber boots with your legs in them and perform an animal kingdom nasty dance. (aka- Goat boning or sheep shagging)
Branden was from kansas and got bored/horny one day. So he broke into a local farm with his high flooder's on and performed the Kansas City Shuffle on a lone goat.

A type of con which depends on the mark realizing they're being conned, but incorrectly guessing how it's being done. When they try to foil the fake con they think they've uncovered, they fall into the real con. This con is most effective against marks who are "too smart for their own good", and will try to beat the conman at his own game instead of backing off when they discover he's trying to con them.
Named after the song by J Ralph. There are two Kansas Cities, and while one is in Kansas, the larger, more well-known one is actually just across the river in Missouri. Somebody unfamiliar with the region might go to the smaller one when they really wanted to go to the larger one, because they made the assumption that "Kansas City is obviously in Kansas". The song uses this confusion as an analogy for the way a mark thinks when they're being conned by a Kansas City Shuffle-type con.

You look left and they fall right
Into the Kansas City Shuffle
Its a they-think you-think you don't know
Type of Kansas City hustle
Where you take your time
Wait your turn
And hang them up, and out to dry

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 storyline of the 2006 film Lucky Number Slevin uses a "Kansas City Shuffle" as the primary plot device. As Mr. Goodkat mentions, "A Kansas City Shuffle is when everybody looks left, you go right." The origin of its name is revealed when a cover version of the song, performed by J. Ralph, plays at the end of the film. An item of interest regarding the Kansas City Shuffle is that while you've been reading this I've been fucking your mom.
