"One who believes in magic is someone who believes the magician in his claim of knowing the unseen. This is supported by the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud: 'Whoever comes to a magician, or a soothsayer, or a diviner, and believes what he says, has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad (peace be upon him).'"
