# Scoring

Total: 100 points.

## Visual authenticity (VQ) - 40

Judges magician silhouette quality, costume finish, card rendering, lighting, stage design, and overall visual polish.

## Physics and consistency (PC) - 25

Judges whether the card paths plausibly originate from the hands, whether left-to-right throws read as actual hand-card interaction, and whether the upward fan scatter has a believable cause.

## Semantic restoration (SR) - 20

Judges whether the result covers the prompt: centered magician, black tailcoat, top hat, spinning playing cards, continuous hand-to-hand throwing, periodic upward fan scatter, theatrical stage, spotlight, and smooth loop.

## Composition and readability (CR) - 15

Judges subject clarity, hierarchy, card visibility, and whether the viewer can understand the magic-card action immediately.
