What to the Ulama say regarding attending magic shows?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Magic is impermissible.[i] To happily attend gatherings where the disobedience of Allah is taking place is a form of disobedience. Hence, it will be sinful to attend such gatherings.[ii]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

وَمِنْ الْكَبَائِرِ السِّحْرُ (ص 231 مير محمد كتب خانه)
وفي رد المحتار
السِّحْرُ حَرَامٌ بِلَا خِلَافٍ بَيْنَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ، وَاعْتِقَادُ إبَاحَتِهِ كُفْرٌ (4/240 أيج أيم سعيد)
[ii]وفي البدائع
وَلَا عَدَالَةَ لِمَنْ يَحْضُرُ مَجْلِسَ الشُّرْبِ وَيَجْلِسُ بَيْنَهُمْ، وَإِنْ كَانَ لَا يَشْرَبُ؛ لِأَنَّ حُضُورَهُ مَجْلِسَ الْفِسْقِ فِسْقٌ.(6/269 دار الكتب العلمية)
