Kabbalah is a stream of mystical thought. Mysticism as such is not magic. However, one stream of Kabbalism led to the development of what came to be known as "practical Kabbalah." That is, mystical practices intended to achieve practical effects in this world. Practical Kabbalah is, for all practical purposes, indistinguishable from magic. Is it black magic? Black magic is generally defined as magic that uses the forces of evil to accomplish its goals. Kabbalah is all about God.

Some streams of Kabbalah, however, went in very strange directions. Shabbatai Tzvi and his followers, a group strongly influenced by Kabbalah, believe that the way to redemption led through sin, and that, to bring about the redemption of the world, they had to break all of the commandments. Jacob Frank took this to an extreme. Apparently it was really fun, but I'm skeptical that he ever accomplished anything. Both Tzvi and Frank were forced to convert (to Islam in one case and to Catholicism in the other case).
