Sorry for late reply.
People who use black magic to fulfill their desires are giving in to the desires, they are killing some animal or some such thing to activate the black magic, which will have its own reaction and the fact that they are controlling demigods for temporary material benefit will also have major reaction, that will last over lifetimes. It is negative energy and results in binding the soul to karmic reactions over many many lifetimes, for some cheap immediate pleasures.
Going to temple means we are visiting what is the equivalent to an embassy of God on earth. See the vast difference. The result is much much more and there is no negativity involved, like in black magic. THis is positive energy and will result in lasting benefits. If one gets influenced and starts chanting, then one will arrive at the purpose of life sooner or later.
The purpose of life is not to fulfill desires, which are like waves in the ocean, incessant. The purpose of life is to utilise the human form of life to understand that we are not the body, we are soul, part and parcel of God, subservient to God and our only work is to serve God, to attempt to please God.

What about if a person is a victim of a black magic? Is he definite like one who worship a demigods, and the most important how he can get rid of this black magic? Hare Krishna, Hare Rama
Hare KRsna,
PAMHO.
Being a victim of black magic is one the worst things that can happen, because black magic can continue in next lifetimes also.
There are experts who can remove the effect of black magic - the problem is, they are rare. Finding them is difficult.
If you know some one who is a victim, then better to send them to Mayapur and make them do inquiries there.

Below sloka and His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada purport may clear your doubts.
yānti deva-vratā devān
pitṝn yānti pitṛ-vratāḥ
bhūtāni yānti bhūtejyā
yānti mad-yājino ’pi mām
Translation of Bhagavad Gita 9.25
Those who worship the demigods will take birth among the demigods; those who worship the ancestors go to the ancestors; those who worship ghosts and spirits will take birth among such beings; and those who worship Me will live with Me.
Commentary by Sri A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada of Gaudiya Sampradaya:
If one has any desire to go to the moon, the sun or any other planet, one can attain the desired destination by following specific Vedic principles recommended for that purpose, such as the process technically known as darsa-paurnamasi. These are vividly described in the fruitive activities portion of the Vedas, which recommends a specific worship of demigods situated on different heavenly planets. Similarly, one can attain the Pita planets by performing a specific yajna. Similarly, one can go to many ghostly planets and become a Yaksha, Raksha or Pishaca. Pishaca worship is called “black arts” or “black magic.” There are many men who practice this black art, and they think that it is spiritualism, but such activities are completely materialistic. Similarly, a pure devotee, who worships the Supreme Personality of Godhead only, achieves the planets of Vaikuntha and Krishnaloka without a doubt. It is very easy to understand through this important verse that if by simply worshiping the demigods one can achieve the heavenly planets, or by worshiping the Pitas achieve the Pita planets, or by practicing the black arts achieve the ghostly planets, why can the pure devotee not achieve the planet of Krishna or Vishnu? Unfortunately many people have no information of these sublime planets where Krishna and Vishnu live, and because they do not know of them they fall down. Even the impersonalists fall down from the brahmajyoti. The Krishna consciousness movement is therefore distributing sublime information to the entire human society to the effect that by simply chanting the Hare Krishna mantra one can become perfect in this life and go back home, back to Godhead.
Hare Krishna.
