I was rereading the old DC chapters when i came upon one that stood out among the rest, namely chapters 487-490. the basis behind this is that in all other arcs gosha like to tie up all loose ends. But this arc has two lot points left hidden, where the old magician went and what exactly the trick was about. it is unlike gosho to just have a major character in a plot (a one who doesn't resemble old characters at that) to just have disappeared. obviously he wouldnt have left Japan so you think if he was unimportant he would 1. been revealed to have been killed and hidden by this cases victim, or 2 been found dead by the police of old age or something while looking for his book. this all leads me to believe that he may have been captured by the B.O

At this point you probably think i'm crazy, why would the B.O want some random magician. But you have to consider that this guy was apperantly a master in his field and that the B.O have captured a programmer before which in my opinion makes just about as much sense as a magician. And since this is the DC universe when people disappear they dont stay missing without reason.Which brings me neatly the my next point, the trick. The actual trick is never shown but it is made out to be somehow be a trick of pure evil. Also pay attention to the name of the trick devil's REVIVAL. why this trick might have to do with it might be inconsequential but there is at least some possibility that its important. And that about wraps up my theory, please tell me what u think. Possibbly well be seeing a familiar old man in a future B.O arc .

See for yourself!

Spoiler:

If anything, this means they are FBI agents or at least allies of Akai rather than antagonists...

That would be Toichi Kuroba, Kuroba Kaito aka Kaito Kid's father. The reference came from chap 573 btw. If you want more backstory on Kid and his father who was the previous Kid then see the Magic Kaito manga. It isn't clear how much of Magic Kaito is canon to DC, but the Magic Kaito Organization and Pandora probably aren't.

He shares the same last name as Kinoshita Misa from Agasa's first love who is apparently in cahoots with Akai Shuuichi. Kinoshita Yoshiro is dead already, and we know Kinoshita Misa left suddenly for some reason during the school year and has a stepfather currently. It could be a case of last name reuse, but I wonder....

Great catch. I double-checked, and the kanji used for both surnames also match: 木之下

Spoiler: Akai was giving them orders it seems

Something Abs. Pointed out. Since I can't find Abs.'s original post with the search box, I'm linking to a post I made about Abs.'s post. Sorry Abs.
