Is this considered black magic?

Okay, new version:

def foreach(object_list, method_name, *args):
    for object in object_list:
        try:
            method = getattr(object, method_name)
        except AttributeError:
            pass
        else:
            if callable(method):
                method(*args)

Did I miss something? 

Thanks to all who responded.
