Salaam Allaykum,

I was wondering what your opinions are on Muslims performing magic tricks. Performing magic has been a life long ambition of mine and something that I still practise today yet since I decided to start taking Islam more seriously (something I decided upon quite recently) it hit me that I may have to (reluctantly) give up this hobby. I have already done a bit of research myself and there are some resources that have told me magic is fine as long as it isn't black magic (Fortune Telling, Voodoo, Contacting Jinn etc.) yet other resources simply take magic to be haraam in any way, shape or form.
Personally I haven't and of course don't plan on performing black magic, what I do is simply for entertainment purposes yet I would still like to know, if at least just to put my mind at rest, whether what I am doing is acceptable or not.

Thank you for taking your time to read (and respond).
