The Prestige:

Benchmarking Cognitive Visual Reasoning using Magic Tricks

Accepted at NeurIPS 2026 · Track on Evaluations and Datasets 🎉

📄 Paper | 🌐 Website | 💻 Code

A Paradoxical Reasoning question from The Prestige: a magician's card box releases smoke and then vanishes. Three models answer why the audience is surprised; only one identifies both surprises.

The Prestige is a video question-answering benchmark built from professional magic performances. Magicians deliberately misdirect their audience, so the questions take more than object recognition. A model has to track objects through a long routine, remember what was shown earlier, explain why a reveal surprises the audience, and reject questions that rest on false premises.

The benchmark has 2,177 open-ended questions in six categories. Each question is anchored to a timestamp in a YouTube video and has a human-written reference answer. The best model in the paper, Gemini 3.1 Pro, scores 47.08%. Humans score 92.79%. License The annotations in this repository are released under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.
