If a target's consumable held item is triggered by the move (such as a [[Focus Sash]] or [[Lum Berry]]), it will be consumed before it can be stolen. If a target holds a [[Focus Band]] or [[Rocky Helmet]], it can be activated by the move, then be stolen by Magician.

If the user faints when using the move (such as due to the target's {{a|Liquid Ooze}} or held [[Rocky Helmet]], or due to the Pokémon with this Ability using a [[recoil]] move or a {{cat|Moves that cause the user to faint|move that causes it to faint}}), Magician will not steal the item. If the user's move triggers {{a|Mummy}}, so that it no longer has the Ability Magician, it cannot steal an item.
If the Pokémon with Magician faints when using the move (such as due to the target's {{a|Liquid Ooze}} or held [[Rocky Helmet]], or due to the Pokémon with this Ability using a [[recoil]] move or a {{cat|Moves that cause the user to faint|move that causes it to faint}}), Magician will not steal the item. If the move of the Pokémon with Magician triggers {{a|Mummy}}, so that it no longer has the Ability Magician, it cannot steal an item.


Magician activates after the last strike of a [[multi-strike move]]. Magician activates even if the user is switched out by {{m|U-turn}} or {{m|Volt Switch}} or the target is switched out by {{m|Dragon Tail}} or {{m|Circle Throw}}. {{a|Pickpocket}} activates after Magician, so the Pokémon that has Pickpocket will always end up with the item if the move is a [[contact]] move. If {{p|Meloetta}} has the Ability Magician and uses {{m|Relic Song}}, Magician activates before it changes form.
