Oops control is an informal name for a card control, in which, after having a card selected and returned to the middle of the deck, the performer spreads the cards face-down between his hands, and sees one card accidentally turned face-up. "Oops," he says, and flips the card face-down. In this action, the selected card has been brought to the top of the deck.
