How are sorcery or witchcraft viewed in Judaism? I have heard that it has something to do with Kabbalah. Please correct me if I am wrong. Also Solomon (may peace and blessings be upon him) is falsely accused of having exercised control over demons and genies in his reign with the help of sorcery.
According to David Livingston, author of The Dying God, the Kabbalah is a system of magic and sorcery developed by Jews during their exile in Babylon.
Sorcery and witchcraft are explicitly forbidden by the Torah. Period. However, there are other methods of manipulating nature that do not fall into the category of "sorcery". For example, when a prophet or a tzaddik performs a miracle, they do it with G-d's implicit help and/or permission.
Mystically, the difference between these two methods (sorcery and G-d given miracles), is their sources. When G-d created the world, He created spiritual forces of purity and impurity, and forbade the latter (cf. Deuteronomy 30:19). (Judaism does not believe in the autonomy of evil). Sorcery draws from the powers of "impurity" in the world, and as such, is forbidden. Miracles and Practical Kabbalah draw from the forces of purity (kedusha) and are therefore permitted.
As far as King Solomon's control over demons, all the stories I've heard of that involve his using pure forces (specifically, names of G-d), to capture and bind them. From the Talmud, Gittin 68a:
...Solomon then sent Benaiahu son of Yehoyada, giving him a chain on with the [Divine] Name engraved and a ring with the Name engraved...
Oh, and David Livingston? I would say that he's wrong, but the fact is that English does not really differentiate between magic and miracle. They both defy nature, and when performed by a person, they fall under the blanket of the English word "magic". Rest assured, though, there is no magic or sorcery involved.
While your question is not really a duplicate as worded, most of this information is available on other questions on this site.
See further: Why is practical kabbalah not considered kishuf?, Did the prophets practice magic?
"God has made one corresponding to the other" - Eccl.7:14 which hints (see Shaarei Kedusha by Rabbi Chaim Vital Gate 1 ch.1) that just like there are forces of holiness in the world, there are likewise forces of Tumah (spiritual impurity). Each is as strong as the other. So today since the forces of holiness are so weak, the forces of tumah are also weak.
Likewise, just like there are holy Names which can be used to do things to manipulate the world according to certain books, so too there are names of tumah, which can be used to do things. this is witchcraft. (read this somewhere forgot where)
