Can be used in relation to anything involving distraction and misdirection by which you get everyone to look one way, while whatever you're doing involves going the other way.

When everyone else moves right, you move left. That is what a Kansas City Shuffle is.

As taken from Wikipedia, and which I checked out elsewhere, the first instance of this term is the title of a Jazz song from 1926 by Bennie Moten. Beyond that, it's a term that's only been given real meaning by the movie Lucky Number Slevin, in which it's used to refer to a kind of con game. Specifically a con in which a combination of distraction and subterfuge cause the mark to turn their attention away from the plot which proceeds in the opposite direction. The term itself is weighted with football, gambling, and other innuendo but since it didn't exist as a phrase until that movie was released, you could read that subtext into it or not. At it's simplest, a good head fake in sports is a Kansas City Shuffle. At a more complex level an army massing battalions of tanks on one front to occupy enemy attention and draw them out of fortified positions while in reality a naval attack ensues instead would also be a Kansas City Shuffle. In short, it's a cute name for a kind of misdirection.

"They look right... and you look left." [Lucky Number Slevin's simplest definition of a Kansas City Shuffle delivered by Bruce Willis] There is anecdotal evidence that a football play was called a Kansas City Shuffle. (Note: a shuffle is a type of play) "Your shoelaces are untied" (followed by tweaking the victims nose) "Now that my friend, is the old Kansas City Shuffle."

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.

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. thats a kansas city shuffle\!
