Convincing Control is a card control or cull, named by Ed Marlo, which secretly gets a selected card from a face down in the hands spread to the bottom of the deck while in the act of closing the fan.

Marlo created it based on a description told to him by Alton Sharpe (not the method, just what he had seen from a spectators point of view) about a move he had seen Larry Jennings do.
