Shortchange Trick refers to the trick in which the performer apparently demonstrates how a con artist shortchanges unsuspecting marks, by counting the bills and then showing money has disappeared. Popular versions include George Starke's Hornswoggled and Bert Allerton's Bamboozle. See the $11 Bill Trick for versions of that trick with a Shortchange Theme.
