A "Kansas City Shuffle" is an advanced form of a bait-and-switch confidence game employing misdirection, deception, and playing on the "mark's" arrogance or self-loathing.
[1] The title refers to a situation where the con man bets the mark money but cannot identify what state "Kansas City" is in.
[citation needed] A song with the title was recorded by the "Bennie Moten's Kansas City Orchestra" jazz band on December 13, 1926, in Chicago, Illinois and originally released by Victor Records on Victor 20406, the flip side being "Harmony Blues" by the same band.
After a short piano introduction, the band plays two ensemble choruses with breaks by trumpeter Lammar Wright, Sr..
In season 6, Saul Goodman and Kim Wexler execute a Kansas City Shuffle as part of their plan to discredit Howard Hamlin.
