If you don't want to house rule it, then try to design the illusions in a way that there is little to suggest the PC to use Detect Magic.Watch out for other spells that may indirectly reveal an illusion: Detect Evil, Detect Undead, Detect Thoughts... perhaps it's better to create the illusion of a mindless neutral animated statue rather than a Wight or Vampire (which would not register to either of these spells, should the PCs have them active when they encounter it).</blockquote>
