charmer - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Charmer
  one who practises serpent-charming (Ps. 58:5; Jer. 8:17; Eccl.
  10:11). It was an early and universal opinion that the most
  venomous reptiles could be made harmless by certain charms or by
  sweet sounds. It is well known that there are jugglers in India
  and in other Eastern lands who practise this art at the present
  day.
  
    In Isa. 19:3 the word "charmers" is the rendering of the
  Hebrew _'ittim_, meaning, properly, necromancers (R.V. marg.,
  "whisperers"). In Deut. 18:11 the word "charmer" means a dealer
  in spells, especially one who, by binding certain knots, was
  supposed thereby to bind a curse or a blessing on its object. In
  Isa. 3:3 the words "eloquent orator" should be, as in the
  Revised Version, "skilful enchanter."
