My question about this is: I am a practicing magician. Mine are all illusions ONLY. Is this permissible, or am I to throw away all my illusions material?

I am a Gospel magician since 1978. I use tricks to illustrate Bible doctrines, principle, and stories. I always start out every program by saying that what I do was called "juggling" up until 400 years ago. The art that is condemned in the Bible is fortune telling or using charms to ward off evil and other situations using the power of the devil.
