Proof negates faith, they're mutually exclusive.
What do you think happened when the people of OZ found out that the wizard was just a man and all the "magical healing" he had done was just trickery?
They would have fallen back on the ailments he had healed, all the laws he had passed would have become suspect, all his ideas would have been refuted because the people no longer had faith in him, they had proof he was just a man.
They had proof that his magic wasn't real and even though it had worked for years it was all built on faith.
The belief in the existence of something you can't prove is called faith.
