You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

"'''Kansas City Shuffle'''" is the name of a 1926 jazz song.

The title of the tune refers to an advanced form of [[bait-and-switch]] [[confidence game]] employing misdirection, subterfuge, and playing on the "[[mark (victim)|mark]]'s" arrogance and/or self-loathing.

==The scheme==
In order for a confidence game to be a "Kansas City Shuffle", the mark must be aware, or at least suspect that he is involved in a con, but also be wrong about how the con artist is planning to deceive him. The con artist will attempt to misdirect the mark in a way that leaves him with the impression that he has figured out the game and has the knowledge necessary to outsmart the con artist, but by attempting to retaliate, the mark unwittingly performs an action that helps the con artist to further the scheme.<ref>((cite book|title=Forgotten Tales of Kansas City|last=Kirkman|first=Paul|publisher=The History Press|date=2012 |isbn=9781614237389|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=a5R2CQAAQBAJ&q=kansas+city+shuffle&pg=PT52))</ref>

The title refers to a situation where the con man bets the mark money he can't identify what state "Kansas City" is in. The mark, guessing that the conman was hoping to trick him into saying [[Kansas]], identifies [[Kansas City, Missouri]] as his answer. The con man then reveals that there is a much less well-known [[Kansas City, Kansas]] meaning Kansas was actually the correct answer.((citation needed|date=October 2020))

==In song==
A song with the title was recorded by the "[[Bennie Moten]]'s Kansas City Orchestra" jazz band on 13 December 1926 in [[Chicago]], [[Illinois]] and originally released by [[Victor Records]]  on Victor 20406, the flip side being "Harmony Blues" by the same band.<ref>((cite book|title=Black Recording Artists, 1877-1926: An Annotated Discography|last=Gibbs|first=Craig Martin|page=373|publisher=McFarland|date=2012|isbn=9781476600857|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TBB0Jh4QlOcC&q=kansas+city+shuffle+harmony+blues&pg=PA373))</ref>

It is one of the first songs called a "shuffle" using the [[Swing (jazz performance style)#Swing note|distinctive triplet-driven beat]].<ref>((cite book|title=The Story of Music|last=Goodall|first=Howard|page=264|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=by4QTHmBORwC&q=kansas+city+shuffle&pg=PA264|publisher=[[Random House]]|date=2013|isbn=9781448130863))</ref>

The recording is an instrumental. The tune structure is similar to the standard [[I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate]]. After a short piano introduction, the band plays 2 ensemble choruses with breaks by trumpeter [[Lammar Wright, Sr.]] This is followed by solos by banjo and saxophone, a stop time chorus featuring unison work by the reeds, trombone solo, and finally out chorus ensemble.<ref>((cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PfwfMTWBGgYC&q=kansas+city+shuffle&pg=PA286|title=Early Jazz: Its Roots and Musical Development|last=Schuller|first=Gunther|publisher=[[Oxford University Press]]|date=1986|page=286|isbn=9780195040432))</ref>

==In film==
A Kansas City Shuffle was introduced by Mr. Goodkat/Smith ([[Bruce Willis]]) in the 2006 film ''[[Lucky Number Slevin]]'' in the bus terminal scene, where he explained that a Kansas City Shuffle is where "They look right...  ...and you...  go left." In the movie, the targets are manipulated into hiring their own killers, one of whom they believe to be a patsy.
